Asaba
In February I was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer. My oncology team at the Asaba Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in April. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 43, I worked as a taxi driver until February, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to the Asaba Oncology Institute 4 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,150 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $320 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $600 • Transport to the Asaba Oncology Institute: $130 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $100 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
