Paul's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund

Paul is facing early-stage lung cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Paul was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in February. The oncology team at the Epe Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Paul is 30, worked as a construction supervisor 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 Epe Oncology Institute 5 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,000 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $360 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $380 • Scans and lab work: $175 • Transport to the Epe Oncology Institute: $85 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

  • can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Epe!

    • Thank you. If you're in Epe I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.

  • sending strength, Segun. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Chennai so I could bring a meal. All the best.

    • hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Epe.
