Fighting cervical cancer: help Chinedu afford treatment in Badagry

Chinedu is facing cervical cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Badagry
Chinedu was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August. The oncology team at the Badagry Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Chinedu is 25, worked as a hairdresser until August, 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 the Badagry Oncology Institute 2 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 $1,100 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $570 • Scans and lab work: $135 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $120 • Household costs while unable to work: $275 If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Nonso

  1. Quick update: $440 raised so far (40%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 20% now ($216). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts.
