Esther's stomach cancer treatment fund

4 rounds of treatment are planned at Epe University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Epe
Esther was diagnosed with stomach cancer in July. The oncology team at Epe University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Esther is 50, worked as a farmer until July, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Epe University Hospital 3 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,400 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $890 • Scans and lab work: $95 • Transport to Epe University Hospital: $75 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $85 • Household costs while unable to work: $255 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Kelechi
