Uche's cervical cancer treatment fund
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Nsukka University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇳🇬 Nsukka, Enugu, Nigeria1,557 views
Uche was diagnosed with cervical cancer in March. The oncology team at Nsukka University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Uche is 32, worked as a cleaner at a hospital 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 Nsukka 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,400 goes:
• Transport to Nsukka University Hospital: $95
• Household costs while unable to work: $270
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,035
Glad we found this place.

Update from Nsukka: I made the first payment toward chemotherapy and medication not covered. We're at 10% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Aurora so I could bring a meal. All the best.
good luck, Kehinde. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 31 people at work.
Rooting for you. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Ogbomosho so I could bring a meal. God bless
So sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Wishing Uche a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't give up. All the best.
