The official statement:

Why we support Friends of Karen:

We have friends and family members who have had very sick kids, and I can tell you that the support they received from organizations like Friends of Karen made all the difference. Housing needs, care for siblings, financial support or just someone to call when you’re dealing with a sick kid is the thing that can tip you over the edge and help support the family during terrible times. Friends of Karen is magical. Right here in Westchester. Right here for families who need them.
