Fighting multiple myeloma: help Damilola afford treatment in Onitsha
Supporting Damilola through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to Onitsha Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.
🇳🇬 Onitsha, Anambra, Nigeria892 views
Damilola was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in June. The oncology team at Onitsha Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Damilola is 50, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until June, 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 Onitsha Regional Medical Center 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $770
• Scans and lab work: $145
• Transport to Onitsha Regional Medical Center: $150
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $95
• Household costs while unable to work: $140
Thank you so much.

Thinking of you, Olumide. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Thinking of you, Olumide. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
shared it with a few friends. After 23 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
shared this with my family. Sent it to 14 people at work.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Hyderabad
