Helping Cancer Patients Day to Day
We are a unique fund providing direct support for cancer patients’ day-to-day living expenses. Our goal is simple: to raise funds in the name of Jane Lloyd to help individuals battling cancer in Northwest Connecticut live more comfortably and with dignity in their own home during treatment.

Life with cancer is something incomprehensible and we never imagined being on the receiving end of an outpouring of support from the Jane Lloyd Fund. Words of encouragement, positive thoughts and extreme generosity from our community through the Fund made a positive difference in our lives and helped us through each day. Participating in the annual clambake became one way for us to get involved and to remember and honor our son and people in our community in the true spirit of love, peace and hope.

Our History
The Jane Lloyd Fund was founded by the Lloyd family after Jane’s eight-year battle with cancer. They wanted to respond to the generosity of the community, who helped Jane when she was in need so that others in the community might experience the same sense of well being in their own time of need.
The fund was established at the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation to benefit cancer patients and their families with financial need who reside or work in the Connecticut towns of Canaan, Cornwall, Falls Village, Kent, Salisbury and Sharon. It is with joyous hearts that this fund has been established to continue the chain of generosity and goodwill linking Jane to many other families long into the future.

“[The Jane Lloyd Fund was] instrumental in helping us with our car payment, mortgage, and electric bills. It helped us with the simple fact that we didn’t have to worry.”

“I support The Jane Lloyd Fund because people battling cancer in our community will have food on the table, gas in the car and those basics which allow the person to concentrate on the important thing which is trying to stay alive.”
