Who We Are
100% staffed by volunteers, we’re here to comfort seriously ill children & their families.
Facing a life-threatening disease can be a devastating experience for anybody. It’s especially difficult for children and the families who care so deeply for them; the emotional and physical toll can easily overwhelm their ability to cope.
To ease the stress and chaos associated with this unimaginable situation, the Kara Fund provides seriously ill children and their families with goods and services in the hope that these items offer some measure of comfort in their time of distress.
Our mission.
Our mission is to comfort seriously ill children and their families by providing goods and services that give them physical and emotional support, and enhance the quality of their lives, when possible, in their time of distress.
When you donate to the Kara Fund, you’re helping a distressed family of a seriously ill child with some of the often-difficult hurdles they encounter every day, like ensuring that the child has a warm blanket to stay comfortable while fighting the chills that often accompany a weakened condition. Or supplying computers and software to keep the child’s mind off the challenges they face, if only for a few peaceful moments. You might even be buying the parents much-needed coffee or snacks as they struggle to stay awake and strong by their child’s side. We hope you’ll take a few minutes to explore our site, read Kara’s Story, and help us continue our mission: providing comfort to seriously ill children and their families.
