Appeal renewed September 2006
Dear
Sir/Madam,
PLEASE
LEND A HAND
About
two years ago, the life of a man in his early forties and with
a promising career ahead of him was dramatically changed as
a result of a medical condition. As fate would decree, this
young man’s high blood pressure condition deteriorated
to an extent that threatened his very life. Through the Grace
of God, he survived and continues to live, a fairly “normal”
life.
His
family and friends however know that the young man’s life
is now far from “normal” because his medical condition
resulted in the damage of his kidneys. Consequently, he now
has to depend on a thrice-weekly visit to Korle Bu Hospital
where a kidney Dialysis machine is used to perform the function
of his failed organ to keep him alive.
The
cost however, of the thrice-weekly visit to Korle Bu Hospital
is in the region of ¢12 million per month and the resultant
pressures and drain on our friend’s resources and family
are without doubt very acute. The purpose of this letter therefore,
is to solicit for funds to support our dear friend.
All
contributions towards the payment of current bills at the Korle
Bu Hospital will be graciously and thankfully received.
But
that is not the end of this story. While the weekly sessions
on the Dialysis machine are keeping our friend alive, there
could be a more permanent solution to this condition, namely
a kidney transplant. Conservative estimates for a kidney transplant
operation together with costs associated with a donor and other
medical tests is about US$100,000. The family has set up a fund
and the contributions, being solicited are aimed at raising
enough for a kidney transplant operation.
Contributions
may be made directly to the William Tevie Fund at Prudential
Bank, Ring Road Central, Account Number 590092002. Account
Name: MOBA 78, Moba 78 undertakes
to ensure that all funds collected will be exclusively used
for purposes stated in this letter, and to subject the account
to regular audits by qualified accountants.
PLEASE
LEND A HAND AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU FOR YOUR KIND ASSISTANCE.
From
the friends and family of William Tevie (affectionately called
“ABONGO”)
Yours
sincerely,
