Standing with Babatunde: non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Ibadan University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

In February I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at Ibadan University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in May. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 33, I worked as a hairdresser until February, 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 Ibadan University Hospital 5 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 $1,250 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $80
• Transport to Ibadan University Hospital: $140
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $820
• Scans and lab work: $210
If you're reading this, thank you.

gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Riverside
