Fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia: help Folake afford treatment in Gwagwalada
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Gwagwalada Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇳🇬 Gwagwalada, Abuja FCT, Nigeria963 views
In February I was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. My oncology team at Gwagwalada Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in April. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 34, I worked as a bus conductor until February, 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 Gwagwalada Cancer Centre 4 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 $2,150 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,350
• Scans and lab work: $230
• Transport to Gwagwalada Cancer Centre: $105
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $100
• Household costs while unable to work: $365
Glad we found this place.
