Zainab's a rare sarcoma treatment fund
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Badagry Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,384 views
Zainab was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in April. The oncology team at Badagry Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Zainab is 35, worked as a primary school teacher until April, 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 Badagry Cancer Centre 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 $1,650 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,200
• Scans and lab work: $150
• Transport to Badagry Cancer Centre: $85
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $40
• Household costs while unable to work: $175
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
