Lonely, alone and ill in her golden years, a Lemonade Fund grant means F. can get the physical help she needs to heal.

F. is a 75 year-old widow. She lives alone in a periphery community, a long bus ride from the hospital where she receives chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. One grown son is autistic and resides in an institution. She lives solely on social security retirement payments. Weakness from her treatments has made it very difficult to care for herself. This is exacerbated by treatment for clinical depression. Lonely, alone and ill in her golden years, a grant from the Lemonade Fund allowed her to hire the extra help she needed for her physical needs, and strengthen her resolve to heal from the immediate side effects of her cancer.
