Dear Friends of St Cyril,

As we all enjoy this festive period, I want to appreciate all of you. Thinking about this I decided that I would share with you the end of year message I sent to St Cyril staff.and volunteers. This emotion can also be extended to all of you. Our partnershi6 with globalgiving really has given me such a warm feeling that, in spite of all the wars and strife in the world, most of us want to help where we can to make the world a better place for someone else. Often a person we do not know. This basic human decency keeps me going when times are hard with the foundation.

Her's the letter:

Good morning, St Cyril Isolo team. Compliments of the season.
First let us warmly welcome Temitope Awala, our new Medical Officer and Seun Agboola, our Registered Nurse . We look forward to your full integration into our St. Cyril family and hope you will enjoy working with us. Our clinic is patient-centric and this reflects in all our decisions.
Secondly, I want to commend and thank you from the bottom of my heart, all the staff for the support and diligence with which you have worked since we opened the clinic.

You have all been patient and committed as we build this vision of our Foundation. You have all nurtured it with me and watch as it bears fruit. Every patient we treat well is part of that fruit. Every screening exercise. Every counselling done. Every grant proposal written. Every partnership forged.

All have been to ensure we improve the quality of cancer treatment delivered to patients as in Nigeria- one patient at a time. Rich or poor; high or low; literate or illiterate. Everyone deserves to be treated efficiently, effectively, courteously and promptly, so they can maintain their dignity as they face this serious illness affecting them.
We shall stride into 2019 full of hope and big plans. Our patients will increase and our services too. We shall continue to offer training for our staff. We will improve on funding for indigent patient by raising funds through SCIPS, our patient support initiative.
Omolara F Bolanle, Omolara A, Ebunolorun, Temitope, Seun, Uche, Alli, please continue to support the vision. I appreciate, respect, and love you all.
Shola, thank you for making my dream, your dream. All the hours of volunteer work. Buki, our grossly underpaid business development consultant, thank you.
Merry Christmas and a very blessed and happy 2019.
Fondest regards,
Moji

We are going to take time out to celebrate ALL CANCER SURVIVORS IN NIGERIA.

Grappling with cancer is a daunting experience for most people, but this is more so in Nigeria.

Most patients cannot start treatment due to lack of funds; some stop halfway for the same reason; some have the funds but the treatment facilities are not available; some treatments are not completed due to equipment breakdown.

Despite all these obstacles, Nigerian Cancer Survivors are resilient and remain optimistic. That is why we continue to strive for better treatment outcomes for them. And any other way to make their lives easier.

Recently, we collaborated with another cancer NGO called B4G to educate on oncology nursing and distribute free breast prosthesis. We had a lot of fun with our survivors and it gladdens my heart that, in spite of the ups and downs of cancer care in Nigeria, our Survivors stay strong; stay optimistic

You can do your bit to help us keep improving on the situation so more people can be treated, by sharing this email with all your contacts and sending $10 to us through globalgiving monthly to treat our patients.

Thank you, from all of us at St. Cyril Foundation.

Hello Friends,

Let us first honor those to whom honor is due today. Happy Mothers' day to all women who have been in any way conneceted to raising a child.  As a mom, I know it is not the easiest but it can be most gratifying.

St Cyril is giving you the opportunity to make this Mothers' day even more memorable. 

Honor your mom!

Honor yourself!

Give a "gift of  giving" by supporting the treatment of a mom suffering from cancer in Nigeria. Give them the lease of life to get well so they can be there for their own children, as your mom is/was for you.

Now that our first treatment center is open, many people, mostly women who have ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER MEANS of getting treated have been coming to us for help. We all know Mothers' will fight to live for their children's sake and it is heartwrenching when we cannot help.

If everyone donated at least $10 today, we would be helping mothers in Nigeria get well and bringing joy to hundreds of families. One round of chemotherapy treatment can cost $1,000 so please  forward this to all your friends.

Bring a smile to the face of a mother today, by your gift..Thank you and remember to  forward this to all your friends so they can help too.

Have a wonderful Mothers' Day-if you are being honored or you are honoriing. I know I will..

Warmest regards,

Moji

Our dear co-visionaries,

It has been a a really busy but exciting few months. We have been setting up our first chemotherapy clinic and finally opened our doors in January. 

Our clinic, St Cyril Isolo Chemotherapy Center, is equipped with infusion pumps, in house pharmacy,and all the essentials medical tools needed to operate a chemotherapy clinic. There are medical and administrative staff including a certified Oncologist, Medical officer; Nurses Administrative officer and faciilities personnel.

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first center in Nigeria to be run by a non profit organisation with infusion pums. You should all be very proud as this is an achievement that would certainly not have happened by now without all our Globalgiving donors. We are so grateful. When things looked bleak with our first center at Lagos University Teaching Hospital, you stood by us. Again, when the opportunity cme for us to start over at a new location, you were there too.

Thank you. Our work icontinues, though. Now we need to support indigent patients to receive treatment and save their lives. This is why St Cyril has started a St Cyril Initiative for Patient Support (SCIPS). This is an initiative that will reduce the number of indigent patients who died whilst looking for funds for their treament. More details to follow........

Thank you again for continuing on this journey with us. Please do not relent.

Forward our mail to all your contacts. Donate as often as you can. Raise funds on our behalf and send to Globalgiving in the name of the project

We cannot do this essential work without you. Thank you from ALL OF US at St Cyril! .Happy Easter 

Warmest regards,

Moji
