Support Chioma's Cancer Treatment

What are you raising money for?

We are raising money to fund critical, life-saving medical treatment and provide essential stability for Chioma Uju Okonkwo and her three young children. Chioma is a resilient single mother and a survivor of severe domestic violence who recently made the courageous decision to leave an abusive marriage to protect her family. This sudden transition, unfortunately, left her displaced and without any source of income. Amidst trying to rebuild her life from scratch, Chioma faces an even greater crisis: she is currently battling breast cancer. While she has completed her grueling chemotherapy sessions, she urgently needs to begin vital radiotherapy treatment to eliminate the remaining cancer cells and prevent a relapse. Because she has no financial support or income stream at this time, the costs of this specialized medical care are beyond her reach. Therefore, the funds raised through this campaign will be used for three immediate, life-changing purposes: Covering the full costs of her upcoming radiotherapy treatments and medical care. Paying her children's school fees so this family crisis doesn't disrupt their education. Assisting with daily living expenses, ensuring the family has secure housing, food, and necessities while Chioma focuses on healing.

Why are you raising the funds?

We are raising these funds because Chioma has reached a critical crossroads in her fight for survival, and immediate financial intervention is her only path forward. Having courageously fled a severely abusive marriage to protect her three children, she was left completely displaced. In an exhausting turn of events, she was then diagnosed with breast cancer. Chioma has shown incredible resilience, fighting through and completing a grueling regimen of chemotherapy. However, this medical battle has completely drained her. She has spent every penny of her life savings on these initial treatments, leaving her financially depleted. At this exact stage, radiotherapy is urgently required to eliminate any remaining cancer cells and ensure the disease does not relapse. Because she currently has no income, she cannot afford to begin this next vital phase of care. Without our collective support, her treatment will grind to a halt. Raising these funds right now is vital: it will directly pay for her life-saving radiotherapy, secure her children's school fees to keep their lives stable, and cover basic daily living expenses. At the same time, she focuses entirely on surviving and healing.

What will the funds raised help achieve?

The funds raised will directly bridge the gap between a devastating crisis and a secure future for Chioma and her children. By securing the required capital, we will instantly remove the financial barrier to her healthcare, ensuring she can start and complete her critical radiotherapy without delay. This timely medical intervention is the key to permanently eliminating her cancer and saving her life. Beyond her health, these funds will ripple through her entire family. Covering her children's school fees will shield them from further trauma, keeping them in a stable, supportive learning environment. Meanwhile, providing for daily living expenses will offer a vital safety net, allowing a displaced, resilient mother to focus entirely on healing without the paralyzing fear of hunger or homelessness. Ultimately, this campaign will empower a brave domestic violence survivor to defeat cancer, protect her children, and successfully rebuild a life rooted in safety, hope, and independence.
