Standing with Ronke: acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment costs
Supporting Ronke through acute lymphoblastic leukemia: medication, transport to Lagos Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Nigeria1,069 views
Ronke was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in March. The oncology team at Lagos Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in April. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Ronke is 53, worked as a bakery worker until March, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Lagos 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,200
• Scans and lab work: $140
• Transport to Lagos Cancer Centre: $70
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $50
• Household costs while unable to work: $240
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Aisha
Quick update: $110 raised so far (6%). I made the first payment toward household costs while unable to work. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Update from Lagos: the plan for transport to Lagos Cancer Centre is now scheduled. We're at 4% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
