Anambra State Association, Women in USA, Inc. and ASA Women USA Cancer Coalition in Nigeria on Saturday donated N3 million in support of three breast cancer survivors in the State.

Three cheques of N1 million each were presented to Blessing Ebele Machi, Florence, Nwogochukwu Nwosu and Nkoli Pieta Nnolum.

Founder/ President, Dr. Mrs. Anthonia Uche-Umeh said the funds donated would assist the survivors with their ongoing hospital bills and medication.

Uche-Umeh, represented by Board Chairman of the association, Dr. Josephine Onor said ASA Women USA, established in 2011 has been actively involved in medical missions over the years.

According to her, the association presents dummy cheques to beneficiaries while the actual funds are paid directly to the hospitals for accountability.

Managing Director of Anambra Broadcasting Service, Chris Molokwu commended the association’s efforts.

He expressed optimism that the support provided would significantly alleviate survivors challenges as breast cancer remained a leading cause of mortality among women today.

Assistant Coordinator Southeast for ASA Women USA, Mrs. Felicity Obiakonze emphasized the grassroots efforts in identifying survivors and confirmed that the funds were sourced from ASA Women USA, Inc.

The beneficiaries, expressed gratitude and prayed for the association’s continued blessings.
