Vicky is a little girl in Ghana who was born in January of 2023 after her mother
went through a very difficult pregnancy. Her parents are doing the best they can
for their daughter but they are very poor. They live in a very bad neighborhood
that is dangerous for a little child like Vicky but of course when you don't have
much money you take what you can get.
Recently Haddi, Vicky's father, sent John a message that Vicky was ill. John spoke
by phone with their doctor, who told them that Vicky had bronchitis and needed
treatment.
John went to visit the small family to see what he could find out. While there he
checked out the place where they were living. Conditions there are grim, which
probably contributes to the child's coughing and other breathing issues. The
mother herself was having chest problems that day, probably from much the same
cause. Their situation is just not good.
John gave them what money he could but the little girl still needs medical
treatment. This is a continuing problem we are trying to solve. The child needs
medical care and ultimately they need a better place to live. So this is our goal
for them at this time.
