The 16-year-old, who featured in JoyNews’ hotline documentary “Crushed Young” had one of his lower limbs amputated following a car crash.

The family of young Moses Addai was recently handed a fully-furnished three-bedroom apartment at Trede, in a life changing encounter through the benevolence of JL Properties and listeners on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show.

Producer of the hotline documentary, Seth Kwame Boateng, led the family of Moses to the Trede palace to appreciate the support of the chief in the allocation of a parcel of land for the building project.

“We were touched by the plight of the boy and needed to get a befitting space in the township for the building to be constructed,” said Nana Nuben Sra III.

At a young age of 13, Moses Addai was knocked down by a speeding vehicle while returning from an errand that left his right leg amputated. He has already undergone eight surgeries and has two more to undergo.

Moses, poised to actualize his dream of becoming a pilot, is currently in the second year at senior high school.

Tredehene, Nana Nuben Sra III, says he will ensure the boy has a bright future by sponsoring him through education to achieve dream.

“If I’ve managed to get a place for him to be accommodated, I also need to ensure that his education is well catered for. I will ensure he has a bright future,” he said.

Moses appreciated the gesture of the chief and promised to make the most of the opportunity offered him.

The documentary, produced by Seth Kwame Boateng, highlighted the devastating impact of road accidents on children and families.

It featured two young boys; Moses Addai, 13, whose left leg was amputated after a car accident, and 10-year-old Peter Mensah, who lost both limbs.

The 10-year-old was knocked down while heading home to collect GH¢3 printing and studies fees.

On Wednesday, August 25, Deputy Finance Minister and Member of Parliament for Ejisu, Dr John Kuma, paid for five different sets of prostheses to be done for Moses and Peter. This will last them between 15 to 20 years.

A few hours later, there was another good news as the Executive Chairman of JL Holdings, Dr James Orleans-Lindsay, followed up with a bigger offer.

He is offering to build a three-bedroom apartment after the sod had been cut to start work for Moses Addai at Trede in the Ashanti Region for free.

The construction of the three-bedroom apartment is being spearheaded by the Ekosii sen Impact Project.

Speaking on Ekosii Sen on Asempa FM, Dr Orleans-Lindsay said the story of the 13-year-boy has touched him so much that he can’t help but also join the hundreds trying to put smiles on the face of Moses Addai.

Though some monies had been raised through listeners of the Ekosii sen programme, Dr Orleans-Lindsay wants that money to be used to set Moses’ mother up and also use some for investment for Moses.

He singled out Seth Kwame Boateng and commended him for his passion to make life better for Moses and his family.
