In 2014, the Lemonade Fund received our first application from a young man. About 1% of breast cancer cases occur in men. S was a young man in his early 30s and was suffering from a recurrence of an earlier bout with breast cancer. The disease was aggressive and had metastasized to his bones. His wife left him, he was suffering from depression and living with his elderly parents on a fixed income. Additional expenses mounted up from S’s illness and debilitation. The Lemonade Fund awarded him a grant to assist the family financially during this difficult time.
