Sylvia New Update 10/26/25

Sylvia- pregnant teenaged girl update 2

A quick update: We have been informed that Sylvia is currently in the ER in

hospital. We haven't yet been able to learn any details, whether she is giving

birth or whether there is some sort of problem. Of course we are very concerned. We

will post more when we can.

One of the things P9 has always tried to do is to help pregnant women when they

come to us in need. Pregnancy is natural and a normal part of life, but it is also

dangerous, both for the mother and for the unborn child. So many things can go

wrong, before and during the process of giving birth. We have always done our best

to make sure that women get the best care possible during this time.

Recently a seventeen-year-old girl named Sylvia came to John in Ghana asking for

help. She was in the latter stages of pregnancy and needed not only prenatal care

but also, the simple basics of life- she was homeless and living on the beach in

Accra.

Sylvia was the girlfriend of one of the dancing group who call themselves the Small

Killers. We have worked with them before and have helped them with their problems

as we have been able. The future father was standing by his girlfriend and but he

has a serious health problem of his own and is limited in what he can do. He has

open sores on his leg that needs attention, but for now he is more concerned with

his girlfriend than with himself.

We have made it possible for Sylvia to receive a basic medical examination and we

will try to help her to receive the care she needs, including making it possible

for her to deliver her baby in a hospital with suitable medical care and

supervision. We will continue to post updates as they become available.

We are hoping for the best for the young mother and for the baby and the father.
