Help Adewale through 10 rounds of treatment for multiple myeloma

Supporting Adewale through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to Lagos University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.

Adewale was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in March. The oncology team at Lagos University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Adewale is 33, worked as a construction supervisor until March, 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 Lagos University Hospital 3 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 $1,750 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,150 • Scans and lab work: $160 • Transport to Lagos University Hospital: $150 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $35 • Household costs while unable to work: $255 Thank you so much. - Kingsley

Updates from Kingsley

  1. Quick update: $364 raised so far (21%). I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($314 in total) the plan for transport to Lagos University Hospital is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Update from Lagos: I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. We're at 10% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

    Good luck. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal!
