Fighting cervical cancer: help Funmilayo afford treatment in Lagos
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Lagos University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria1,148 views
Funmilayo was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August. The oncology team at Lagos University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Funmilayo is 48, worked as a bank teller until August, 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 Lagos University Hospital 4 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 $700 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $165
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $490
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $45
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Rooting for you, Abubakar. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Lagos
Sending strength, Abubakar. Shared it with a few friends. God bless
Praying for you. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in The Hague donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Take care, Abubakar. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 12 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything
