All,

It has been a very long time since I last did this, but here I am today asking for your help to support a friend, Ebrima Bah.

Ebrima lives in Farato, Gambia, and is a father to four little children, one of whom he named after me. He teaches elementary-level Arabic at one of the primary schools in Brikama.

Ebrima is dealing with a growing cyst on his liver that is causing him excruciating pain. He has already visited and continues to visit many hospitals and clinics in the Gambia, but nothing seems to work now. The pain continues unabated and none of the drugs he is currently taking is helping.

On top of that, he has already spent all his savings to get labs done and on medications. Some friends are already helping him financially, but things continue to get even more expensive.

We are now planning to take him to a hospital in Dakar, Senegal, but that won't be possible without strong financial support. One of the people I spoke to told me that he (Ebrima) and his wife would need a minimum of $5000 to start a medical treatment in Dakar.

So here I am asking for your help to facilitate this for him. Ebrima is a good man and the breadwinner of his family
