The Selma Schimmel Vital Grant, located in Newtown, CT, is dedicated to providing essential support for individuals grappling with significant financial hardships stemming from a diagnosis of chronic, terminal, or rare illnesses including cancer, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s Disease. This vital program offers assistance with utility bills and grocery costs, recognizing the urgent needs faced by families during difficult times. While the grant can cover either utilities or groceries, we also collaborate with various partner organizations to expand the range of support available, ensuring that those in need receive comprehensive help tailored to their situations.
