Fighting a rare sarcoma: help Comfort afford treatment in Badagry
Supporting Comfort through a rare sarcoma: medication, transport to Badagry University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.
Anywhere in the world1,517 views
Comfort was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in February. The oncology team at Badagry University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Comfort is 40, worked as a primary school teacher until February, 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 Badagry University Hospital 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $170
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $820
• Transport to Badagry University Hospital: $110
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
