Last week we were asked to see a baby in the neonatal intensive care unit at a government hospital in Accra. Farida is 2.5 months old. She was born at the hospital and due to her multiple birth anomalies she was abandoned.
We are looking for funds to provide Farida with palliative care. Farida has multiple birth anomalies to her arms and legs and possibly other skeletal anomalies. We need immediate funds for the doctors to fully assess her conditions. Among such tests will be for her heart (echocardiogram) and lungs (xray to monitor pneumonia). We are looking for a foster family willing to provide Farida with a comfortable, loving environment. If we are unable to find such a family, we can provide Farida hospice care at Beacon House but we will need to hire another staff member as our ratio of housemother:children is at maximum.
All/any support is appreciated.
Thank you.
