Gwagwalada
Tunde was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in February. The oncology team at Gwagwalada Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Tunde is 35, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until February, 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 Gwagwalada 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,600 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $920 • Scans and lab work: $170 • Transport to Gwagwalada Regional Medical Center: $135 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $120 • Household costs while unable to work: $255 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Obiageli

        Wishing you the best, Obiageli. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Houston!

        • Chathurika Prabha Wijesinghe

          Hang in there, Obiageli. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Hanoi so I could bring a meal

          • Pongsak Thawatchai Suksawat

            Praying for you, Obiageli. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
