Help me through 10 rounds of treatment for colon cancer
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Nsukka Regional Medical Center; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.

In July I was diagnosed with colon cancer. My oncology team at Nsukka Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 12 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 33, I worked as a cleaner at a hospital until July, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Nsukka Regional Medical Center 5 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,150
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75
• Household costs while unable to work: $125
I hope life is good to you.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Nsukka.
Thank you. If you're in Nsukka I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
wishing Henry a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings.
sending strength, Henry. Looking forward to the next update. After 15 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Nsukka
Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
