• Diagnosed with a life-threatening physical illness?
    Overwhelmed with caregiving?
    Heartbroken over the death of someone you loved?

    It’s not unusual for you to feel…
    Frightened • Powerless • Overwhelmed • Alone
    How do you ease the fear and reconnect to possibility?

    Start by coming to a Big Group.

  • Friends In Deed is a crisis center providing emotional and spiritual support for anyone with a diagnosis of HIV/AIDS, cancer or other life-threatening physical illnesses… any caregivers, family and friends of those who are ill… and anyone dealing with grief and bereavement. All of our services are free of charge.

    • This week at Friends In Deed

    As usual, Friends In Deed will be closed for the Memorial Day holiday on May 27th and for the rest of the week, as part of our annual spring break.

    We reopen on June 3rd with our regular schedule of programs and services.

    EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL SUPPORT WHEN WE’RE CLOSED.

    If you need crisis support related to critical illness, caregiving or grief when Friends In Deed is closed, please call 212-925-2009 and leave a voicemail message on our crisis line.

    On weekends and when we’re closed for breaks, we check the phones several times during the day. Otherwise, please come to the next available Big Group. However, if you are calling regarding an emergency, we strongly urge you to call 911.
