Help for Sybil

 Hello everyone.
 The beautiful lady you see in these photos is Sybil Bannerman. Sybil is our amazing 24 year old a loving, intelligent, generous, fun-loving and hard-working daughter, sister and niece. Sybil graduated from university in 2022 and had just been offered her first job due to start in April this year.

She helped out at her cousin’s restaurant whilst waiting eagerly for her first day at work. Her infectious laugh and warm hugs made her an instant hit with many and had a bright future ahead of her. Sadly, her plans were shattered on the 11th of February, 2023, when Sybil followed up on an advert selling mobile phones. She met the vendors at an agreed location in a suburb of Accra, Ghana and after handing over her money to purchase the phone, the vendors handed her a fake phone and as they made a swift getaway, run her over in the process.

 She is currently in a Hospital in Accra with a broken neck and potential paralysis from neck down. She has a complete cervical spine injury and needs to be operated upon urgently to stabilise her neck and to give her any chance of getting a bit of her normal life back. 4 days after her admission, she went into respiratory distress which necessitated intubation and ventilation. Her prognosis is guarded. Beyond an urgent operation. Sybil faces unspeakable challenges with aftercare, especially in Ghana where there is very limited healthcare and welfare support.

 As a family we are desperate to give her much needed assistance, comfort and dignity, and we need your financial help, no matter how small, to help us do so. We need funds to get through this major operation, get medical equipment and medication to enable her to live as comfortably as possible under the circumstances. Our hope for Sybil, with your help and generosity, is to reduce her pain as well as provide her every bit of dignity such a lovely person deserves.

Her poor mother, who is currently unwell has been put through enormous stress.. Sybil will need 24-hour nursing care, physiotherapy and psychological intervention after this life changing experience. Please help us to give Sybil a chance for the future. Thank you all, we will continue to post updates and keep you all informed about Sybil's journey.
