ABOUT THE JANE LLOYD FUND |

On September 14th, 2005 Jane Knowlton Lloyd died peacefully at her home in Lime Rock, Connecticut. Fortunately Jane was blessed with many generous friends who enabled her to live her last days in the peaceful, loving environment of her home with her family and friends by her side. In her last two years living with cancer, Jane was unable to work full time, and the stress of meeting her financial obligations weighed heavily upon her. A large group of generous friends assumed Jane’s day-to-day expenses, enabling her to live her final days at home. The Jane Lloyd Fund was born after her death to help families in the Region One area of the Northwest Corner of Connecticut, who, because of the effects of cancer and its treatment, cannot meet their day - to - day financial obligations. The Jane Lloyd Fund has accumulated enough funds through contributions from the generosity of the community of the Region One and beyond to be able to help several families in its first year. As an endowed fund within The Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation, The Jane Lloyd Fund will help families maintain a supportive environment at home for cancer patients for many generations to come. Disbursements from the fund are made upon the written recommendation of a social service agent, town social worker, hospice care provider, visiting nurse, counselor or pastor. These funds must be used for day to day expenses such as mortgage, rent, insurance, utilities, heating oil, car payments and transportation to and from doctor appointments or cancer treatment appointments. To make a tax deductible contribution to this unique and important fund please make checks payable to: THE JANE LLOYD FUND c/o The Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation 271 Main St., Suite 3 Great Barrington , MA 01230 To apply for funds please contact Maeve O'Dea at the Help Fund Breast Cancer Research.
