Chukwuemeka's acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment fund
Chukwuemeka is facing acute lymphoblastic leukemia and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
Anywhere in the world1,510 views
Chukwuemeka was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in January. The oncology team at Benin City University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Chukwuemeka is 51, worked as a construction supervisor until January, 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 Benin City University Hospital 4 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 $500 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $290
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $110
• Transport to Benin City University Hospital: $100
Glad we found this place.

Rooting for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
hope things get better soon, Bola. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Cardiff
Thinking of you and your family, Bola. Hope this works out for you. I hope May is when things finally get easier.
best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Bhaktapur so I could bring a meal.
Take care, Bola. Your post was clear and honest.
I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Benin City
you're not alone, Bola. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.
Sending love, Bola. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in London this morning. Greetings from London.
Your post was clear and honest. After 29 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
