Standing with Danjuma: stomach cancer treatment costs
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Lagos Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,370 views
Danjuma was diagnosed with stomach cancer in May. The oncology team at Lagos Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Danjuma is 39, worked as a nurse until May, 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 Lagos Regional Medical Center 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $750 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $145
• Transport to Lagos Regional Medical Center: $120
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $485
Thanks for being kind about this.
