Dear donors,
Thank you for your donations and for the impact you are making possible. Your support shows care for people facing one of the hardest moments of their lives. We are deeply grateful for your kindness and trust in this project.
In Nigeria, more than 100,000 new cancer cases are recorded every year. Many patients come from low-income homes and cannot afford daily food while paying for tests, drugs, and hospital visits. During treatment, most patients are unable to work, and family savings are quickly exhausted. Hunger and poor nutrition weaken the body, reduce the effect of chemotherapy, and often force patients to stop treatment early. This project was created to address this urgent problem.
Your donations will help us provide daily, nutritious meals to cancer patients in hospitals and low-income households. With regular food support, patients can regain strength, tolerate treatment better, and stay consistent with their care. Families will also feel relief knowing that food is available while they focus on treatment and recovery.
At this time, the total funds received are not yet enough to begin full project activities. We are continuing outreach and advocacy to raise the remaining amount needed to start meal distribution as planned.
To our prospective donors, thank you for considering this project. Your future support will directly help cancer patients fight hunger while fighting cancer.
With thanks,
Joy Ojochogwu Etubi
