Standing with Chidi: thyroid cancer treatment costs
Chidi is facing thyroid cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($346 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Praying for you. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Hyderabad
Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Tampa so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Lagos.
Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Lagos
Best of luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Take care
Praying for you, Chinedu. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Is transport to Lagos University Hospital the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. transport to Lagos University Hospital comes first ($145) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 29 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Sending strength. Get well soon. My neighbor in Vadodara donated after I showed her your page.
Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Praying for you. Hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from Kasarani
shared this with my family. Sent it to 13 people at work. All the best
This could happen to any of us. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Joliet.
Wishing you peace, Chinedu. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Gangnam.
Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Mardan
Hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Iztapalapa.
So sorry you're going through this, Chinedu. This could happen to any of us. Blessings
Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Pune so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Lagos.
