Friends of Karen is the only organization in the New York Tri-State area that provides comprehensive support, at no cost, to families caring for a child battling cancer or another life-threatening illness, from diagnosis through treatment.
Friends of Karen believes that families can maintain a sense of balance and stability even during the crisis of their child's illness. This belief fuels our personal advocacy for families through our team of dedicated professionals -- social workers, child life specialists and creative arts therapists -- to ensure that each family receives the emotional, financial and practical help they desperately need throughout their child's treatment, which can last many months or even years.
Friends of Karen began in 1978 when one caring person wanted to sustain her close friends through the devastating illness of their daughter Karen. Today, we have helped more than 14,000 children and their families.
