Fighting early-stage lung cancer: help Godwin afford treatment in Warri
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Warri University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Godwin was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in May. The oncology team at Warri University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Godwin is 30, worked as a bank teller until May, 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 Warri 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $240
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,100
• Transport to Warri University Hospital: $85
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope it all works out, Yetunde. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I hope July is when things finally get easier.
Shared it with a few friends. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Istanbul.
Sending good thoughts, Yetunde. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Sent it to 17 people at work
Hope it all works out, Yetunde. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope July is when things finally get easier.
Hang in there, Yetunde. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
