Help Kemi through 6 rounds of treatment for stage 2 breast cancer
Supporting Kemi through stage 2 breast cancer: medication, transport to Benin City Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.
🇳🇬 Edo, Nigeria1,366 views
Kemi was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in August. The oncology team at Benin City Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Kemi is 35, worked as a farmer until August, 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 Benin City Cancer Centre 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $140
• Scans and lab work: $270
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,290
