What We Do

The Lemonade Fund is Israel’s only breast and gynecological cancer emergency relief fund. One-time grants to patients in financial crisis cover basic living expenses, like childcare, rent, school supplies and transportation. Grants are awarded to identify and screen applicants from all over Israel, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender or religion, using a transparent system based on verified financial need.

Impact

Since its founding in 2011 the Lemonade Fund has never had to deny a qualified applicant due to a lack of funds. Thank You!

Recipient Stories

{

The treatment period, with my husband’s departure to the reserves now in the second round after 220 days of service, brought us great financial difficulty. The aid from the charity is oxygen for the family. Thank you.

I’ll never forget this first push you gave me, it was my first step towards winning my battle against cancer.

{

I really appreciate all the support that I got…. when I shared about cancer and the dissolution of my marriage, a couple of weeks ago. It shocked me. It shocked me, because I am not used to it.
