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

Badagry
Nonso was diagnosed with stomach cancer in September. The oncology team at Badagry Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in December. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Nonso is 33, worked as a cleaner at a hospital 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 Badagry Regional Medical Center 3 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 $500 goes: • Scans and lab work: $240 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $70 • Household costs while unable to work: $190 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Efe
