Selma Schimmel Vital Grant

The Selma Schimmel Vital Grant in San Francisco, CA, is dedicated to providing vital support to individuals facing significant financial hardship due to a diagnosis of chronic, terminal, or rare conditions, including cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and Huntington’s disease. This program offers essential assistance through utility support and grocery aid, ensuring that individuals can focus on their health rather than financial worries. While the grant covers either utility bills or grocery expenses, Vital Options International (VOI) also collaborates with other organizations to connect clients with additional resources they may need. Our mission is to deliver compassionate and practical assistance during challenging times, helping to lighten the burden that comes with serious health diagnoses.
