Help Lola through 6 rounds of treatment for a rare sarcoma
Lola is facing a rare sarcoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇳🇬 Ibadan, Oyo, Nigeria1,652 views
Lola was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in June. The oncology team at the Ibadan Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Lola is 47, worked as a bank teller until June, 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 Ibadan 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $350 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $210
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60
• Transport to the Ibadan Oncology Institute: $80
Glad we found this place.

Wishing you the best, Gbenga. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 39 people at work. Blessings.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Lola?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about household costs while unable to work, advice is welcome too. Fair thing to want to know.
You're not alone, Gbenga. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Ibadan
How is Lola doing now?
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Oyo. I'll ask around and let you know
You're not alone, Gbenga. Wishing Lola a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Love from Rabat.
best of luck, Gbenga. This could happen to any of us. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Sending strength, Gbenga. Hope you get there. Thinking of Ibadan.
Thanks for sharing this, Gbenga. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 5 people at work.
