Standing with Bola: acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment costs
10 rounds of treatment are planned at the Bonny Oncology Institute; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.
🇳🇬 Bonny, Rivers, Nigeria1,919 views
Bola was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in June. The oncology team at the Bonny Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Bola is 51, worked as a bank teller until June, 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 the Bonny 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $700 goes:
• Transport to the Bonny Oncology Institute: $145
• Scans and lab work: $180
• Household costs while unable to work: $260
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $115
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
