Wunmi's stomach cancer treatment fund
Supporting Wunmi through stomach cancer: medication, transport to the Lagos Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria1,238 views
Wunmi was diagnosed with stomach cancer in February. The oncology team at the Lagos Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in April. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Wunmi is 35, worked as a bakery worker until February, 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 the Lagos Oncology Institute 4 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 $700 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $520
• Scans and lab work: $105
• Transport to the Lagos Oncology Institute: $75
Thank you for reading my story.

wishing Wunmi a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
How is Wunmi doing now?
best of luck. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Lagos.
gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 12 people at work. Take care.
good luck, Titilayo. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Titilayo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Wunmi
It's all in the list in the story. chemotherapy and medication not covered is the big one at $520, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
Thanks for sharing this, Titilayo. Hope you get there. Take care.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Wunmi?
Thank you. If you're in Lagos I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Hang in there. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Kasarani so I could bring a meal. Blessings
Best of luck, Titilayo. Shared this with my family. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Wishing you peace, Titilayo. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Lagos
Sending love. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
Sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hope things get better soon, Titilayo. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Lapu-Lapu
