Funmilayo was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in January. The oncology team at Epe Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Funmilayo is 35, worked as a bakery worker until January, 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 Epe Regional Medical Center 2 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,400 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $730 • Scans and lab work: $140 • Transport to Epe Regional Medical Center: $135 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $65 • Household costs while unable to work: $330 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Kelechi
