Help Me Pay my Bills as I am On Cancer Treatment

Donation protected
My full name is Vivian Nwogu, I am a registered Nurse trained in my home country Nigeria. In 2022, I relocated to the United Kingdom through a Nursing job, in search of better pay and working conditions. Out of curiosity, after feeling a lump in my right breast, I went to the GP who referred me to the breast surgeon where I would later be diagnosed with Her2 Positive breast cancer. This came as a shock as i have no family history of any type of cancer, it was difficult for me to even share the story with my family. Visiting my doctor's office felt like a recipe for bad news because I always come out in tears and fear for the future.

I was scheduled for surgery (Mastectomy). During my surgery recovery time, I stayed away from work for 2 months and surprisingly my salary was significantly slashed to the extent that I had to return to work with an unhealed surgery site. Currently, I am on chemotherapy and yet again, I have been paid just one quarter of my salary contrary to what I understand I am entitled to which is not even enough to pay for my rent.

My family, work colleagues and friends have been extremely supportive in this journey in their own way although I haven't had a family member visit me physically because the embassy has refused to grant my sister visa to come and support me at this difficult time.

I am not able to return to work now as the treatment usually affects my ability to carry out activities of daily living and my rent is currently due, my landlady has been very understanding of my situation but i dont know for how long she will be able to give me grace. If my story touches your heart, i would appreciate your support in any way. 

God bless you
