Standing with Lucky: kidney cancer treatment costs

4 rounds of treatment are planned at Ibadan Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Lucky was diagnosed with kidney cancer in February. The oncology team at Ibadan Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Lucky is 25, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until February, 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 Ibadan Cancer Centre 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 $1,100 goes: • Transport to Ibadan Cancer Centre: $95 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $45 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $960 With deep gratitude, Emeka

Updates from Emeka

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($682 in total) I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
