A delegation from the Volta College Foundation, a non-governmental organisation, has donated GH¢9,000.00 to the family of nine-year-old Victoria Atsoribo, who suffered severe burns in a fire accident at home.
The donation was made at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, where Victoria is currently on admission and undergoing treatment.
Led by women’s organiser of the foundation, Madam Mawulawoe Amedorme and Deputy PRO, Ms Rebecca Gollo, the delegation said the NGO launched a support campaign for Victoria, with the aim to ease the financial burden on Victoria and her family.
Madam Amedorme said “thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our members and the general public, we were able to raise funds to support her treatment and recovery.”
Receiving the donation, Victoria’s uncle, Mr Bright Danquah Dumevi, expressed gratitude to the leadership and members of the foundation for their kindness and support.
He said Victoria was transferred from Margaret Marquart Hospital in Kpando to Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra for specialised care.
According to Mr Dumevi, Victoria was currently undergoing planned staged skin grafting (surgery) as part of her treatment.
Your kind gesture has made a profound impact on her recovery journey, bringing hope and joy to her healing process.
He said the contributions from the foundation will help in taking care of Victoria’s bills, adding that “your support has alleviated a significant portion of the financial burden associated with her treatment, allowing her family to focus on her recovery.
He also appealed to the general public, benevolent individuals, and organisations to continue extending their support to Victoria to aid her recovery.
