Fighting thyroid cancer: help Bukola afford treatment in Bonny

8 rounds of treatment are planned at Bonny University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Bonny
Bukola was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in September. The oncology team at Bonny University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in December. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Bukola is 30, worked as a shop owner 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 Bonny University Hospital 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 $1,800 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,150 • Scans and lab work: $80 • Transport to Bonny University Hospital: $135 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $85 • Household costs while unable to work: $350 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
