Paul's thyroid cancer treatment fund

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

Paul was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in August. The oncology team at Kaduna University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Paul is 43, worked as a nurse until August, 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 Kaduna University Hospital 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 $300 goes: โ€ข Transport to Kaduna University Hospital: $95 โ€ข Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $45 โ€ข Scans and lab work: $160 Every share and every dollar helps.

Updates from Mercy

  1. We're at 48% thanks to 4 of you. I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 45% funded and the plan for transport to Kaduna University Hospital is now scheduled.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($35 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
