HELP SAVE MY MOM FROM BREAST CANCER
I am writing this with a heart that is breaking and hands that are trembling, because time is running out for my mother.
I am urgently pleading for help to save my mother, Ogbelu Elizabeth, who is fighting for her life after being diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time. She is currently receiving treatment at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Nigeria, but her condition is deteriorating rapidly, and doctors have made it clear that we are running out of time.
In 2024, my mother fought breast cancer with unbelievable courage. She endured chemotherapy, painful treatments, and surgery that led to the removal of her right breast. Through it all, she never gave up. We truly believed she had beaten cancer.
But our hope was shattered.
The cancer has returned — more aggressive, more dangerous, and far more devastating than before. Despite starting chemotherapy again, her body is no longer responding. Instead of improving, she is getting worse by the day.
Doctors have now confirmed that the advanced treatment she desperately needs is not available in Nigeria. Without urgent medical care abroad, her chances of survival are slipping away.
Two leading cancer centers in the United States — Hartford HealthCare Cancer Center and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute — have agreed to take her in immediately. With insurance support upon arrival, the total estimated cost of treatment is $5,000, but $2,000 is all that is needed to begin treatment right now.
Every single day we delay brings her closer to losing her life.
My mother can no longer walk or speak properly. She lives in constant pain. Her blood pressure is unstable, and complications continue to rise. Watching her suffer like this is unbearable.
I am her only child. I have already lost my father. The thought of losing my mother — the woman who raised me, protected me, and sacrificed everything for me — is something I cannot survive.
I am begging you, from the deepest part of my heart: please help us now.
If you can donate, your gift could save her life.
If you cannot donate, please share this message — it may reach someone who can.
Time is running out. Your kindness could be the miracle that keeps my mother alive.
