The Selma Schimmel Vital Grant in Hilo, HI, is dedicated to supporting individuals facing significant financial hardship due to chronic, terminal, or rare conditions such as cancer, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s Disease. Our mission is to alleviate some of the stress associated with medical expenses by providing vital assistance in covering utility costs or grocery needs. We recognize that maintaining basic needs is essential during challenging times, and we strive to offer practical support to eligible applicants. Furthermore, through our partnership with Vital Options International (VOI), we connect applicants with additional resources that may provide further assistance in their time of need.
