Fighting early-stage lung cancer: help Grace afford treatment in Lagos
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Lagos Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Grace was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in September. The oncology team at Lagos Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Grace is 30, worked as a tailor until September, 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 Regional Medical Center 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,900 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,200
• Scans and lab work: $220
• Transport to Lagos Regional Medical Center: $130
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $50
• Household costs while unable to work: $300
Thank you so much.

you're not alone, Garba. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Garba. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.

Thinking of you, Garba. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
Hang in there. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Lagos.
Sending good thoughts, Garba. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
Keep going, Garba. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Lagos.
