Fighting Hodgkin lymphoma: help Hauwa afford treatment in Epe

Hauwa is facing Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Epe
Hauwa was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at Epe University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Hauwa is 33, worked as a hairdresser 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 Epe 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,400 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $620 • Scans and lab work: $250 • Transport to Epe University Hospital: $100 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $115 • Household costs while unable to work: $315 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

                  wishing Hauwa a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 12 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
