Family Sponsorship – ghanaministries.com

What better gift can you give a child, then the gift of family? Too many times, children are placed in orphanages because their family simply cannot provide enough to care for them. It is NOT at all because they do not love them… you can ask almost any parent in a poverty-stricken country if they want to keep their family together and the answer will be an astounding YES! But sometimes being able to provide for them can be so very difficult. Ghana Ministries wants to help keep as many children with their families as possible, but we need your help! For $75 a month, you can be a Family Sponsor! You will be matched with a family in need and will be able to write them, pray for them by name, get updates, and help provide for their daily needs! This is such an important sponsorship and gift that you could give to a family in need. Would you consider becoming a Family Sponsor?

This brings us to 16 year old Shalinda Akosah. In June 2019 Dr. Asamoah performed surgery to debulk a tumor in her left cheek. She was supposed to receive chemotherapy and radiation in the area post-surgery but, as is so common in a developing country, the family could not cover the costs and she went without the necessary treatments. Her tumor grew quickly in a short period of time. In January 2020 Shalinda visited Dr. Asamoah and with Ghana Ministries we made arrangements for her to receive the treatment she so desperately needed. Her father, Rogers, was not a believer but has now given his life to Christ!

15 year old Gladys was brought to us in November 2020 with a large, facial myoepithelioma, a benign tumor. Her father abandoned the family leaving Grace, Gladys mother, to care for Gladys, her 10 year old sister Doris and 1 year old twins Paul and Blessing.

Gladys’s mother works in the fields and received very little support from her community as Gladys’ condition labeled her as “cursed”. They could not afford the medical care she so desperately needed. Thanks to donors we were able to sponsor Gladys and she had extensive surgery in January 2021 to remove the tumor. Gladys is a happy, kind, intelligent young lady who aspires to be a nurse one day.

This little fellow had a problem with the fluid in his brain accumulating. We were able to pay for a shunt to permanently drain the fluid.

Baby S. She had a rather large opening in her spine. We provided testing and supportive care. Sadly, she passed before the surgical repair could be done.

Three year old “K” had a tumor on his kidney. We met him at the end of his treatment. Through donations were were able to pay his remaining hospital bills so he and his family could return to their village.
