John in Ghana has helped with P9 Foundation for some years now, providing an
essential link to those in Ghana who ask for help in their times of extreme
personal need. John has been a solid advocate for the people there, arguing
forcefully on their behalf. He has faithfully delivered the funds to help them, in
most cases sending photos of himself literally handing them the money that has been
sent for them and, when possible, sending photographic copies of the various
receipts and documentation to prove that the money was actually spent correctly.
John has always gone out of his way to be scrupulously honest.
But John himself has had his own problems. He is not a wealthy man and his health
has been fragile for some time now. He has asked that we do not go into detail on
his problems and of course we will respect his request, but he has been suffering
from several different health conditions they have made his life difficult and have
often threatened his very survival.
John has recently been forced to undergo a series of operations in an attempt to
correct a particularly unpleasant problem that has made his life miserable. Over
the past few weeks it has been so bad that John finally left the place in Accra
where he was working with the poor and returned to his own home some distance away,
saying that if he was going to die he wanted to die among his own family and
friends.
The good news is that John had what will hopefully be the final operation to
correct the problem on the morning of the 3rd. He is now resting in hospital, too
weak to be released until Wednesday at the earliest. If things go as planned he
will recover his health and continue on with his life with no more pain or
suffering.
We wish John the best.
