Jumoke was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in March. The oncology team at the Wudil Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Jumoke is 45, worked as a primary school teacher until March, 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 the Wudil Oncology Institute 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $450 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $270 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $120 • Transport to the Wudil Oncology Institute: $60 Thank you for reading my story.

  • Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Wudil.

    • Thank you. If you're in Wudil I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.

  • Thanks for sharing this. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 25 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

    • Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

      • Hope the doctors have good news. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
