Help Sade through 10 rounds of treatment for stage 2 breast cancer

Sade is facing stage 2 breast cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Sade was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in June. The oncology team at Benin City Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Sade is 47, worked as a primary school teacher 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 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,400 goes: โ€ข Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $80 โ€ข Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,250 โ€ข Transport to Benin City Cancer Centre: $70 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

  • Thanks for sharing this, Godwin. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Benin City.

    • Bhavna T. ThakurAddress verified

      Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.

      • Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. Take care.
