You don't have to be a Billionaire to help people neither do you need superpowers to give someone a second chance in life. All you need is a good heart to HELP.
Juliana Igagu, 48 years old mother of three, and a civil servant. Juliana loves supporting and counseling young adolescents and encourages people to be better at what they do.
In 2017, Juliana was diagnosed with BREAST CANCER, at this time she became her own counselor, encouraging herself to be hopeful of beating HER2 positive BREAST CANCER, which is very expensive to treat.
HER2-positive breast cancers tend to be more aggressive than other types of breast cancer and this kind of cancer spreads faster than others, she has spent about 5million naira on her treatment. With help from Yahaya Bello, Governor of Kogi State she received 2million naira to assist with her treatment and the other 3million naira came from family and friends.
Juliana has not gone for her treatment in over a month now, she has missed three-course of her chemotherapy and the Herceptin already as result of no funds to pay for the treatment again; she needed 4.5million naira to complete her treatment which include 10 courses of Herceptin, radiotherapy, physiotherapy and other necessary tests.
Juliana heard about Project PINK BLUE and what we are doing to support women battling with cancer. Instantly, we opened a special account for her and started pleading with Nigerians to support her treatment.
With the help of Peace Emezue, Juliana was enrolled to our Adopt a Patient Programme and another amazing Woman took over her case and started funding Juliana treatment from start to finish.
To me, this is the definition of WOMEN SUPPORTING WOMEN, a woman is in need and another woman took it upon herself to give and support her.
Few days ago, I received this beautiful picture of Juliana Igagu after her post-treatment tests cleared her of no cancer in her body. Special Thanks to all everybody all over the world who have been supporting us.
If you want to support us, please go to www.projectpinkblue.org/donate and donate. I am not a Billionaire hence, I can only rely on the help of amazing people like you in supporting indigent people battling with cancer in Nigeria.
If you cannot donate at the moment, please kindly share and spread the word around.
God bless you all.
