Help Adewale through 6 rounds of treatment for stage 2 breast cancer

6 rounds of treatment are planned at Ibadan Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Adewale was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in July. The oncology team at Ibadan Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Adewale is 35, worked as a hairdresser until July, 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 Ibadan 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,300 goes: • Transport to Ibadan Regional Medical Center: $105 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $890 • Household costs while unable to work: $305 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

    keep going, Oluwaseun. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
