Donald Update 8/3/25

Quick Donald Update

We are now able to add some additional information to the update on little Donald.

He is presently in the care of his aunt in Kwahu, a district in eastern Ghana. He

is very ill and we have sent the money needed for his treatment. This is all the

further information we have at this time.

Donald

Donald is one of the small children we have been trying to help in Ghana. His

teenaged mother, Favour, came to us when she was homeless and pregnant and asked

for help. We were able to arrange for her to give birth in a hospital and we have

done what we can to help her and her baby Donald since. Our funds are always

limited and little Donald's health has been poor since the moment he was born. We

have done what we could but the mother and child have gone through very hard times.

John, our friend who works in Ghana to help the people who come to him in need, had

to deal with some of his own problems over the past few months, making it hard for

him to keep in contact with everyone. As a result, we were unable to remain in

direct contact with Favour and, through her, with Donald.

Last week John asked for funds to help get medical treatment for Donald, who has

been running a fever and vomiting. Donald has been ill for some time. He has lost

weight and has stopped talking. By the time we were able to get money to John

Favour had taken Donald to stay with some people in Kwahu, a district in eastern

Ghana, and John has lost contact with her. The child is still ill and in need of

medical care. John is trying to track them down to be able to get the funds

necessary for his treatment. (Favour has no cellphone and there is no way to reach

her directly).

Little Donald has had a very hard time of it in his short life. Favour is, perhaps,

not the best of mothers but, in her defense, she is struggling merely to survive.

We are very concerned for the little boy.
