Standing with Festus: colon cancer treatment costs

6 rounds of treatment are planned at Lagos Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Festus was diagnosed with colon cancer in April. The oncology team at Lagos Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Festus is 35, worked as a nurse until April, 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 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,600 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,000 • Household costs while unable to work: $330 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $115 • Scans and lab work: $155 I hope life is good to you. - Nkechi
