Help Titilayo through 6 rounds of treatment for multiple myeloma

Titilayo is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Titilayo was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in December. The oncology team at the Benin City Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in March. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Titilayo is 28, worked as a primary school teacher until December, 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 Benin City Oncology Institute 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 $2,000 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,250 • Scans and lab work: $220 • Transport to the Benin City Oncology Institute: $160 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $50 • Household costs while unable to work: $320 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Gbenga
