Life is sometimes unpredictable and takes you on when you least expect it. That is the situation of a young student nurse Miss Dephine Kafela Baduweh. Miss Baduweh is currently battling to save her own life having earlier committed her life to training and becoming a nurse to save the lives of others.
She is passionate about her dream to save lives but must be alive to fulfil that dream of serving humanity. Miss Kafela has been diagnosed with End-Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD) also known as End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).
Currently, Miss Kafela is admitted to the Renal Unit of the Tamale Teaching Hospital hoping to begin her treatment. Her treatment includes three Haemodialysis sessions each week with each session costing GHS400 (GHS1,200 a week). Also, she needs to undergo kidney transplantation, a treatment which has to be done outside Ghana at a cost between $35,000 and $45,000.
Miss Baduweh was studying at the Zuarungu Nursing Training College training as a nurse. But her recent health issue has temporarily brought that to a stop. Regardless, her passion to dedicate her life and time to saving others is not gone. But first, we need to help her save her life.
Due to the high cost of treatment, Miss Kafela and her family are appealing for support. Help Miss Kafela save her life so she can complete her studies and also save the lives of others. Find below the letter from Tamale Teaching Hospital and the account details to send your support. Your donations, prayers and other support are highly appreciated.
