Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem, through the benevolence of its listeners, has donated GH₵39,278.22 to a 45-year-old carpenter, Hayford Abradu, who is battling a deteriorating eye condition that doctors warn could lead to blindness and possibly a stroke if left untreated.
The donation comes weeks after Mr. Abradu and his wife, Sarah, visited the Adom FM studio to publicly appeal for support.
Narrating his ordeal, Mr. Abradu recounted a painful medical journey that began three to four years ago when he started experiencing severe eye problems. Initially diagnosed with glaucoma, he had to visit the hospital every two weeks, spending about GH₵300 per visit.
A friend later recommended a specialist at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, and he was subsequently taken to a medical facility at Spintex for further examination.
Given the urgency, he was referred to the Accra Medical Centre for treatment rather than Korle Bu, where he was presented with an estimated bill of nearly GH₵1.2 million for a three-day surgery.
The donation, though not the full amount, is expected to kickstart the process.
Lead Producer Kofi Assan, who presented the cheque, lauded listeners for their immense contribution.
Mr. and Mrs. Abradu expressed gratitude to Adom FM listeners for their support and further appealed to groups and all well-meaning Ghanaians to come to their aid, noting that they still have a long way to go in raising the required amount for the surgery.
