Standing with Festus: kidney cancer treatment costs

Festus is facing kidney cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Festus was diagnosed with kidney cancer in August. The oncology team at Lagos Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Festus is 39, worked as a taxi driver until August, 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 Cancer Centre 4 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 $450 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75 • Scans and lab work: $230 • Household costs while unable to work: $145 Glad we found this place. - Kehinde
