Emergency Appeal for Richard
MeetĀ 11-year-old Richard who needs urgent help for an emergency procedure. REACT metĀ Richie in 2017 and has since donated a number of items including a wheel chairĀ to facilitate his mobility and education. However, just last week we got theĀ news we were not expecting from the mother.

Richard has Mild Hydrocephalus and Arnold Chiari MalformationĀ which means for the past 6 years, he has
suffered a build-up of fluid in the cavities (ventricles) deep within the brain in excess. The excess fluid
increased the size of the ventricles and puts pressure on his brain. Doctors said the pressure of too much cerebrospinal fluid associated with hydrocephalus
can damage his brain tissues and cause a range of impairments in brain function therefore Richard requires an urgentĀ blood augmentation procedure to address his situation. Richard has been on the waiting list for years due to lack of funds and his situation is worsening such that, he struggles to naturally ease himselfĀ andĀ as a result Ā often times defecate and urinates on himself. Upon further assessment this month, doctors agreed to conduct the operation for Richard at a discounted price of 6000 Ghana Cedis (Ā£1200 equivalent). This kind gesture has left Richieās mum Safia restless as she is struggling to raise the money. Her only hope she told REACT is to borrow if she can find a lender and pay in whatever way she can afterwards. REACT is there to support but due to limited resources we are unable to relief the burden on both mum and son and require support.Ā
Please help get Richard the medical intervention he requires in other for him to realise his dream of becoming a Banker.

This is 15 year old Isaac
a mathematician and an Accountant in the making. Isaac despite his disability has gone through normal school and is now in Junior secondary level 2 and is very hopeful of making the grades to make it to one of his dream schools in Ghana which is ADDISSADEL COLLEGE.
-

Given his challenges, Isaac volunteers to teach children in his local community Mathematics at his leisure times. Isaac is mentally and physically able and on course to achieve his dream.
Nonetheless, his biggest obstacle is funding as his parents are ordinary peasant farmers and cannot afford to support him although they share his passion.
At REACT, it is our dream to ensure that by 2030 all disabled children in vulnerable communities in Ghana are āfunctionally literate and productiveā and ISAAC fits into our dream. We want to support Isaac but due to limited resources our provisions may not be enough.

Although Paul smiled at me when I called his name and shook his hands, the big smile was from the fact that he was out in fresh air because his Dad took a day off work unpaid just to meet REACT and explained Paulās situation to us. All Paul needs now apart from general support according to his Dad is a decent wheelchair which will allow him to be pushed out daily to enjoy some fresh air like his peers.
REACT kindly request a wheelchair donation either in kind or cash. Please call 01235244801 or click donate below to donate towards Paulās cause.
Thank you in advance for your support.
