Help Dayo through 12 rounds of treatment for thyroid cancer
Dayo is facing thyroid cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇳🇬 Bonny, Rivers, Nigeria1,534 views
Dayo was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in July. The oncology team at Bonny Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Dayo is 26, worked as a nurse 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 Bonny 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $500 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $100
• Transport to Bonny Regional Medical Center: $165
• Household costs while unable to work: $235
With deep gratitude,
Folake

Thank you all. We're at 70% now ($351). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. - Folake
Small update. $195 so far, I made the first payment toward scans and lab work.

Good luck, Folake. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Greetings from Los Angeles
keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
