Help Wunmi through 6 rounds of treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma
Wunmi is facing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,216 views
Wunmi was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at Wudil University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Wunmi is 48, worked as a hairdresser 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 Wudil University Hospital 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 $1,350 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $820
• Scans and lab work: $125
• Transport to Wudil University Hospital: $150
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75
• Household costs while unable to work: $180
Thanks for being kind about this.

Take care, Chidi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Salem
Sending good thoughts, Chidi. Hope the doctors have good news. Put this on a community board in San Diego this morning. Blessings.
Keep going, Chidi. Shared this with my family. I hope November is when things finally get easier. God bless
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Wunmi
It's all in the list in the story. chemotherapy and medication not covered is the big one at $820, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. I'll keep the page updated.
Sending love. Hope the doctors have good news. After 7 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Islamabad
look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Bogotá.
Wishing you the best, Chidi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. All the best
hope things get better soon. Hope the doctors have good news. We're a small family in Nijmegen but we're thinking of you
Hope the doctors have good news. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Thinking of you and your family, Chidi. Your post was clear and honest.
