The Selma Schimmel Vital Grant, located in Old Saybrook, CT, is dedicated to providing essential financial support to individuals navigating the challenges of a chronic, terminal, or rare illness, including conditions such as cancer, Parkinson's, and Huntington's Disease. Our mission is to alleviate the burden of financial stress through targeted assistance for basic needs. We offer critical utility assistance and grocery support, helping to ensure that individuals can focus on their health and well-being without the overwhelming concern of basic living expenses. While this grant provides aid specifically for either utilities or groceries, we also collaborate with various organizations to connect recipients with additional resources and support. Our aim is to serve as a lifeline for those in need during their most challenging times.
