Former San Francisco 49ers player receives support from the Golden Heart Fund

Summary:

Leo Johnson, a former player for the San Francisco 49ers in the late 1960s, found himself in a difficult situation when he suffered a brain aneurysm and had to navigate through inadequate assisted living facilities. Facing financial burdens, Leo’s family reached out to the Golden Heart Fund, an organization that provides assistance to former 49ers players. The Golden Heart Fund helped Leo find a suitable facility, paid off his bills, and supported his family through the ordeal. Leo eventually passed away, but his family is grateful for the assistance they received from the fund.
