Adewale's stomach cancer treatment fund
8 rounds of treatment are planned at the Kano Oncology Institute; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.
Anywhere in the world899 views
Adewale was diagnosed with stomach cancer in August. The oncology team at the Kano Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in December. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Adewale is 25, worked as a bank teller until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to the Kano Oncology Institute 5 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly.
We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $600 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $80
• Scans and lab work: $105
• Household costs while unable to work: $230
• Transport to the Kano Oncology Institute: $185
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Thinking of you, Jumoke. I hope things turn around soon. I hope November is when things finally get easier. God bless
Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Mumbai.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Love from Kochi
Wishing you the best. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Good luck. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Kano.
