Joy was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in December. The oncology team at Wudil University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in March. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Joy is 28, worked as a construction supervisor until December, 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 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Transport to Wudil University Hospital: $75
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $45
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,180

Good news. Because of your gifts ($564 in total) I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
So sorry you're going through this, Chukwuemeka. Get well soon. God bless
Is transport to Wudil University Hospital the biggest cost or is there more coming?
It's all in the list in the story. transport to Wudil University Hospital is the big one at $75, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
