Ife's prostate cancer treatment fund
Supporting Ife through prostate cancer: medication, transport to Nsukka University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,797 views
Ife was diagnosed with prostate cancer in July. The oncology team at Nsukka University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Ife is 31, worked as a primary school teacher until July, 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 Nsukka 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $980
• Household costs while unable to work: $340
• Transport to Nsukka University Hospital: $70
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $110
If you're reading this, thank you.

Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Nsukka!
You're not alone. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings!
Shared this with my family. Thinking of Nsukka
