Ann Leonard applied for Answers for Angels’ (AFA) grant during the month of November which is Lung Cancer Awareness month. As a rule AFA awards $350 to individuals with cancer, but during the month of November, AFA awards $500 in memory of 2 very important individuals to our organization who also had lung cancer.
Answers for Angels a 501(c)3 nonprofit, all-volunteer organization offers programs and services to support individuals and/or families impacted by cancer, especially children and those seeking research-based alternative treatments.
Ann is currently going through chemotherapy with the hope that the tumor on her lung will shrink or disappear. She’s participating in the cancer treatment by changing her diet to eating a low sugar and low salt diet and increasing her exercise by walking on the treadmill; but, there are times after chemo that she’s tired and will sleep until she has more energy.
Unfortunately, Ann lost her husband Joseph several months ago from Paget Disease on August 21, 2019. He was the family provider and now a son has taken over the company business of Leonard Motor Express in New Lenox to help pay the rent and bills.
With your help, Answers for Angels provided a $500 Meijer gift card to Ann to offset groceries and household items that she would spend otherwise.
Answers for Angels and Ann Leonard value the support that you’ve given us and we’re very thankful for your consideration of cancer patients and their families.
Sincerely,
Katie Davis, President
