Nonso's acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment fund
Supporting Nonso through acute lymphoblastic leukemia: medication, transport to Asaba Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.
🇳🇬 Asaba, Delta, Nigeria1,925 views
In August I was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. My oncology team at Asaba Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 36, I worked as a cleaner at a hospital until August, 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 Asaba Cancer Centre 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 $1,300 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $700
• Scans and lab work: $165
• Transport to Asaba Cancer Centre: $75
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $40
• Household costs while unable to work: $320
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
- Nonso

Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Asaba.
