With sick pay about to run out, and disability allowance the only source of income, F. needed a cushion of financial relief to manage.

F. is a 50 year old woman from central Israel. She has not had an easy life. For years she’s been the family breadwinner. Her husband is unemployed and her son is on 100% disability from schizophrenia. She worked 13-hour days cleaning offices, until she was diagnosed with breast cancer. The side effects made her unable to work and this led to severe depression. With sick pay about to run out, and disability allowance the only source of income, she turned to the Lemonade Fund for a cushion of financial relief to survive this difficult period.
