Hauwa's stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment fund

Supporting Hauwa through stage 3 ovarian cancer: medication, transport to Gwagwalada Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.

Gwagwalada
Hauwa was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in July. The oncology team at Gwagwalada Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Hauwa is 30, worked as a construction supervisor 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 Gwagwalada 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 $900 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $530 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $135 • Scans and lab work: $235 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Tayo
