Henry's a rare sarcoma treatment fund
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Port Harcourt Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Henry was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in August. The oncology team at Port Harcourt Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Henry is 58, worked as a bakery worker 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 Port Harcourt Regional Medical Center 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $760
• Scans and lab work: $190
• Transport to Port Harcourt Regional Medical Center: $110
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $40
• Household costs while unable to work: $150
Thank you so much.

I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Good luck. Hope the doctors have good news. I hope December is when things finally get easier
Shared it with a few friends. After 18 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
