Fighting a rare sarcoma: help Godwin afford treatment in Lagos
Supporting Godwin through a rare sarcoma: medication, transport to Lagos University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.
🇳🇬 Nigeria707 views
Godwin was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in April. The oncology team at Lagos University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Godwin is 30, worked as a tailor until April, 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 Lagos 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 his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $730
• Transport to Lagos University Hospital: $90
• Household costs while unable to work: $230
