Standing with Kunle: cervical cancer treatment costs

4 rounds of treatment are planned at Ikeja University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Ikeja
Kunle was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August. The oncology team at Ikeja University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Kunle is 25, worked as a shop owner 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 Ikeja University Hospital 2 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 $1,450 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $45 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,050 • Scans and lab work: $270 • Transport to Ikeja University Hospital: $85 With deep gratitude, Chioma

            so sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
