Help Yakubu through 6 rounds of treatment for kidney cancer
6 rounds of treatment are planned at the Nnewi Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇳🇬 Nnewi, Anambra, Nigeria1,062 views
Yakubu was diagnosed with kidney cancer in August. The oncology team at the Nnewi Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Yakubu is 30, worked as a nurse until August, 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 the Nnewi Oncology Institute 2 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $700 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $260
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $125
• Transport to the Nnewi Oncology Institute: $75
• Scans and lab work: $240
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hang in there. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Love from Pune.
Thinking of you and your family. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Lyon so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
