The Jillian Fund provides financial support to families of children experiencing serious illnesses. We pay the mortgage/rent, utility companies, and other service providers so that parents can be by their child's side while he/she is undergoing treatment. We currently work with families at the Joseph M. Sanzari Children's Hospital in Hackensack, N.J. Families are referred to us directly through the social work team; we do not accept applications for assistance.
