Selina is a mother of four young children who is navigating a breast cancer diagnosis at 43 while acting as the sole caregiver for her family. Having immigrated to Israel in 2015, she has no extended family support, a situation made even more dire by a complex legal crisis with an estranged husband who is withholding both her divorce certificate and essential alimony. This financial deadlock, combined with her inability to work during treatment, has left her household in a state of extreme instability. A grant from the Lemonade Fund acts as a critical safety net, providing the funds necessary to meet her family’s basic needs. This timely intervention helps dissolve the paralyzing static of legal and financial abuse, granting Selina the clarity and strength to focus on her recovery and the future of her children, providing the stability she needs to heal with dignity.
