Ifeanyi's Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund
Supporting Ifeanyi through Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to the Abuja Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
🇳🇬 Abuja FCT, Nigeria1,630 views
Ifeanyi was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in February. The oncology team at the Abuja Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Ifeanyi is 37, worked as a taxi driver until February, 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 Abuja 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $240
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $980
• Transport to the Abuja Oncology Institute: $115
• Scans and lab work: $165
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

You're not alone, Yinka. Wishing Ifeanyi a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Abuja!
Thinking of you and your family, Yinka. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Wishing you the best, Yinka. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Niterói.
good luck, Yinka. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
