Zainab's Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund
Zainab is facing Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇳🇬 Asaba, Delta, Nigeria1,683 views
Zainab was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in September. The oncology team at Asaba University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Zainab is 47, worked as a primary school teacher until September, 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 Asaba University Hospital 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $350 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $40
• Transport to Asaba University Hospital: $90
• Scans and lab work: $220
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending love, Adewale. Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Dortmund.
Thinking of you, Adewale. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
