At the Selma Schimmel Vital Grant in Santa Cruz, CA, we are dedicated to providing critical financial assistance to individuals grappling with chronic, terminal, or rare medical conditions, including cancer, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s disease. Our program focuses on alleviating the financial burden through utility assistance and grocery assistance, ensuring that those in need can maintain essential services or access nourishing food during challenging times. While our grant specifically covers either utilities or groceries, we are committed to connecting our recipients with partnered organizations that offer additional support. Together, we strive to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those facing significant health challenges.
