Kromah, a student at the Netlib Vocational Training Institute (NVTI), was diagnosed with kidney disease last month, and the family has been advised to travel abroad for a kidney transplant.
Since being diagnosed with kidney disease at the Fidelity Healthcare Services, Kromah, who is an orphan, and his friends have initiated several means, including washing cars and begging on every street corner, to generate funds for his medical bills.
His sister, who disclosed that they have lost both parents, narrated that her brother is currently undergoing dialysis (a process in which the blood is cleaned if the kidneys are no longer working properly).
She said, “My brother was responding to treatment and walking around, but on Tuesday, he experienced shortness of breath, so I brought him back to the hospital. He is currently being put on oxygen.”
“I want people to come to our aid because we don’t have anyone to help us. I am really crying out to God and praying that God will send someone to help. I want to see him on his feet,” she appealed.
“The doctor told me that the treatment cannot be done here unless he travels out of the country to do it. They recommended that if he is stable, they will provide us with the medical authorization so he can travel abroad and undergo the transplant.”
According to her, the doctor estimated the cost of the transplant to be around US$50,000, but considering other expenses associated with the process, it would be around US$60,000.
