A 15-year-old mother on admission at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital has called on well-meaning Ghanaians to come to her aid after months of battling sickness.
Margaret, who became pregnant after being raped, has faced health complications during her pregnancy and after delivery.
This has placed a heavy financial burden on the teenage mother.
“Margaret was raped and out it got pregnant. This came with a lot of complications, even when her time was due for her delivery. Margaret is still suffering, but her mother is a poor woman. Sometimes, the good nurses here have to make contributions to get her some basic needs,” narrated Joana Adom Afrifa, a social welfare worker at KATH.
Margaret’s plight came to light when EKK Charity Foundation, a Kumasi-based non-governmental organisation, made a donation to women who delivered on Mother’s Day.
CEO of the Foundation, Evans Kofi Kwafo, supported Margaret with Gh1,000 and pledged to continue reaching out to her.
Margaret’s mother thanked the organisation and called for more support as the teenager continued to battle the sickness.
Margaret, who has been in the sick bed for weeks, has difficulty speaking.
