Help Tayo through 4 rounds of treatment for stomach cancer
Tayo is facing stomach cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
Anywhere in the world1,270 views
Tayo was diagnosed with stomach cancer in April. The oncology team at Kaduna University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Tayo is 48, worked as a bank teller until April, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Kaduna University Hospital 4 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 his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $950 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $390
• Scans and lab work: $240
• Transport to Kaduna University Hospital: $100
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60
• Household costs while unable to work: $160
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending good thoughts, Yewande. I hope things turn around soon. After 27 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tayo!
Chemotherapy and medication not covered is $390 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.
Praying for you. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Take care!
Take care. Get well soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Multan
