Ebuka was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in August. The oncology team at Lagos Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Ebuka is 24, worked as a tailor until August, 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 Regional Medical Center 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,100 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $720 • Scans and lab work: $100 • Transport to Lagos Regional Medical Center: $75 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75 • Household costs while unable to work: $130 With deep gratitude, Rotimi
