The Obra Show on Nhyira Fm has handed over a fully stocked provision shop to family of a 17- year-old mother who lost her son through hydrocephalus.
This is part of the radio station’s corporate social responsibility activities to ease the burden of the less fortunate in society.
The girl, together with his father, Kofi Appiah, who live at Kwaman Jeduako in the Sekyere Central District, appeared on the Obra Show to seek support for a surgical operation of her seven-month-old son who suffered hydrocephalus.
“When I gave birth to my baby he was suffering from juandice so they transferred us to Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital for blood transfusion, but my child started shkwubf signs of hydrocephalus,” she said.
The girl said her boyfriend abondoned her and the baby after giving birth.
Touched by her plight, benevolent listeners of the Show made contributions for the operation on the child.
But the boy could not survive the operation, leaving the family in despair.
To ease the woes of the girl, management of Nhyira Fm and the Obra team mobilized additional funding to set up a container shop, stocked with consumer and household items, for the family of the young girl.
At the handing over of the shop, host of the Obra Show, Obaa Adwoa Nelson said the advocacy programme has among its goals the commitment to transform the lives of the needy.
“We don’t just discuss issues, but move forward to support and change lives,” she said.
Programs Director for Nhyira Fm, Benjamin Ocran, said the handing over of the provision shop will enable the family to support the girl’s education and also meet her needs to abstain from unhealthy relationships.
The girl’s father, Kofi Appiah, together with his wife and the family expressed their profound gratitude to Nhyira Fm.
“You people are number one and you will continue to be, if you want your case to be solved and withness positive impact Nhyira Fm’s Obra Show is the best we are introducing to you they good,” he said.
The family promised to ensure the shop serves its purpose.
