Genesis's stomach cancer treatment fund
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Townsville University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Genesis was diagnosed with stomach cancer in July. The oncology team at Townsville University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Genesis is 32, worked as a farmer until July, 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 Townsville University Hospital 5 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 $8,800 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,500
• Transport to Townsville University Hospital: $560
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,740
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Lagos but we're thinking of you
Stay strong, Owen. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
thinking of you and your family, Owen. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Birmingham.
Praying for you, Owen. Get well soon. It's not much but it's yours
