Paralysed Kwaku Duah

What was planned as a fun ride with his friends resulted in a battle with pain and sorrow. Kwaku Duah, a 32-year-old artist, fractured his spinal cord in a motor accident.

The father of two is desirous to get back on his feet to cater for his family, but needs almost GH¢220,000.00 for surgery. 

As a twenty-six-year-old student of the Tweneboah Kodua Senior High School, the proficient sculptor was involved in a motor accident at Drobonso in the Ashanti Region.

Today, at 32 years, Kwaku Duah continues to battle for his life.

“I am being carried to do anything I want to do. My condition is getting worse. I have really suffered. I doubt you could enter this room if you had seen me earlier” he indicated.

The father of two is suffering from a fractured spinal cord which has left him bedridden with multiple bed sores for the past four years.

His wife is jobless and caring for their two children has become a burden.

“Anytime I see my wife and my kids, I get very sad. Am I going to sit here and watch them like this? While I could work to feed them?” he asks.

In tears, Kwaku Duah, says his condition is an obstruction to the quest to meet his family's needs. He had earlier been discharged from the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital and Focus Hospital because relatives could not afford the cost of treatment.

73-year-old Thomas Oppong has been helping Kwaku and his family since the incident occurred.

“Looking at his condition, I try my best to afford whatever he wants even when I don’t have money. I have decided to give him GH¢100 a week to fend for himself and his family” he said.

Doctors say he urgently needs over GH¢220,000.00 to undergo his surgical treatment before he could walk.

Kwaku Duah and Thomas Oppong are appealing for funds for the surgery.
