Lola's acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment fund

Lola is facing acute lymphoblastic leukemia and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Nsukka
In December I was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. My oncology team at Nsukka University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in March. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 43, I worked as a farmer until December, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Nsukka University Hospital 4 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,050 goes: โ€ข Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $510 โ€ข Scans and lab work: $90 โ€ข Transport to Nsukka University Hospital: $110 โ€ข Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $50 โ€ข Household costs while unable to work: $290 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
