Ronke's thyroid cancer treatment fund

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

Ronke was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in October. The oncology team at Nsukka University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Ronke is 36, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until October, 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 Nsukka 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 $350 goes: • Transport to Nsukka University Hospital: $80 • Household costs while unable to work: $130 • Scans and lab work: $140 I hope life is good to you. - Adewale

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($75 in total) the plan for transport to Nsukka University Hospital is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Update from Nsukka: the plan for household costs while unable to work is now scheduled. We're at 3% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us. - Adewale
