Help Ngozika through 4 rounds of treatment for early-stage lung cancer

Supporting Ngozika through early-stage lung cancer: medication, transport to Lagos University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.

Lagos
Ngozika was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in August. The oncology team at Lagos University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Ngozika is 46, worked as a tailor 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 Lagos University Hospital 3 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 $1,300 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $750 • Scans and lab work: $180 • Transport to Lagos University Hospital: $105 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $140 • Household costs while unable to work: $125 With deep gratitude, Abubakar
