Fighting cervical cancer: help Yakubu afford treatment in Lagos

Yakubu was diagnosed with cervical cancer in July. The oncology team at Lagos University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Yakubu is 51, worked as a shop owner until July, 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 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $650 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $65 • Transport to Lagos University Hospital: $170 • Scans and lab work: $190 • Household costs while unable to work: $225 Glad we found this place. - Khadija
