Wunmi's stage 2 breast cancer treatment fund
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Lagos Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Nigeria2,260 views
Wunmi was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in November. The oncology team at Lagos Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in March. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Wunmi is 54, worked as a primary school teacher until November, 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 Regional Medical Center 2 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:
• Scans and lab work: $160
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $100
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,140
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending love. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
sending good thoughts, Sade. This could happen to any of us
Rooting for you, Sade. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up. Love from Khulna
Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Aswan so I could bring a meal
Sending love. Wishing Wunmi a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't give up. Take care.
Best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Entebbe this morning. Love from Entebbe.
