Help save Blesslord's life

Akoma Ntoso Foundation is reaching out with a hopeful heart with the story of Blesslord, a fourteen year old girl in rural Ghana who urgently needs open-heart surgery due to a life-threatening condition known as rheumatic heart disease. This stems from a complication of untreated strep throat that damaged the heart valves and is causing severe complications, including heart failure.

Blesslord is a bright, resilient teenage girl who has always been full of life and hope, despite growing up in an area where healthcare resources are very limited. However, over the past several months, she has been experiencing worsening symptoms of chest pain, palpitations, and difficulty catching her breath.

Without immediate surgery, Blesslord will not survive. The cost of surgery and related medical care is far beyond the means of her family who are struggling to afford the necessary treatment.

The total cost of the surgery, hospitalization, and post-operative care is approximately $15,000 which is far beyond the family's means. This is where we need your help.

How you can help

We are asking for your support- no contribution is too small- to help raise the funds needed for Blesslord's open-heart surgery. 100% of the donations will directly cover her surgery and related costs.

Blesslord has so much life ahead of her, but without this surgery, she will not make it to adulthood. Every donation will bring us closer to giving this young teen a second chance at life, at the chance to pursue her dreams, and to experience all the joys that the future holds.

Please consider donating, and if you can, share this campaign with others who may be willing to help. Even a small contribution can make a world of difference. We believe in the kindness of people, and together we can help Blesslord to get the care she desperately needs.

Thank you for your generosity, compassion, and support. We truly appreciate you being a part of this life-saving journey.

With heartfelt gratitude,
