Dear Donors,
Thank you for your compassion toward refugee children in Nigeria who are battling serious illness without access to care. Your support offers hope to families living in camps where medical services are limited or unavailable.
Many displaced children suffer from undiagnosed cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma, and kidney tumors. Without screening or specialist services, symptoms go unnoticed until the disease becomes advanced. Parents cannot afford laboratory tests, medication, or transport to oncology centers. This project will organize mobile screenings within IDP camps to detect warning signs early. Children requiring further evaluation will be referred for diagnosis and treatment, with support covering hospital bills, medications, laboratory tests, nutrition, and transport. Caregivers will also receive education on early symptoms to promote timely medical attention.
At present, no donations have been received, and funding is required before screenings and referrals can begin. We kindly invite you to support or share this initiative so displaced children can receive life-saving cancer care.
With sincere appreciation,
Joy Ojochogwu Etubi
