Tunde's colon cancer treatment fund
Supporting Tunde through colon cancer: medication, transport to Ikeja University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,243 views
Tunde was diagnosed with colon cancer in March. The oncology team at Ikeja University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Tunde is 31, worked as a farmer until March, 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 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $950 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $100
• Transport to Ikeja University Hospital: $95
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $120
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $635
Every share and every dollar helps.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tunde!
Sure. The biggest one is scans and lab work, $100. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for looking so closely.
Wishing you the best, Juliet. Hope the doctors have good news.
Wishing Tunde a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless!
You're not alone. Get well soon. Put this on a community board in New Delhi this morning.
