Asaba
In October I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. My oncology team at Asaba Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in January. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 32, I worked as a bakery worker until October, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Asaba Cancer Centre 2 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,600 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $900 • Scans and lab work: $165 • Transport to Asaba Cancer Centre: $90 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75 • Household costs while unable to work: $370 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
