Kunle was diagnosed with kidney cancer in September. The oncology team at Wudil University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in December. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Kunle is 24, worked as a bakery worker until September, 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 Wudil University Hospital 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $550 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $230 • Transport to Wudil University Hospital: $105 • Scans and lab work: $215 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
