Uche's Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund

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

Badagry
Uche was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at the Badagry Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Uche is 38, worked as a bank teller until August, 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 the Badagry Oncology Institute 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 $1,500 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $970 • Scans and lab work: $130 • Transport to the Badagry Oncology Institute: $130 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $50 • Household costs while unable to work: $220 Thank you so much. - Daniel

Updates from Daniel

  1. Thank you all. We're at 65% now ($969). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for chemotherapy and medication not covered is now scheduled.

  2. Update from Badagry: we've started the first stage. We're at 22% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($248 in total) I made the first payment toward nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
