First lady saves 7-yr old hole in heart girl

Ghana’s First Lady, Rebecca Akufo-Addo, has saved a seven-year old girl who was suffering from a hole in heart from dying. Parents and family of the girl, Harriet San-Koffie, from the Ngleshie-Amanfrom had been grappling with finances to pay for the surgery of the girl until Mrs Akufo-Addo came in contact with them and offered to pay for the full cost.

Mrs Akufo-Addo who met Harriet last year during a visit to Amanfrom, paid the cost of the heart surgery and the little girl has successfully completed surgery. A grateful Harriet and her family together with their Church pastor and elders have paid a courtesy call on Mrs Akufo-Addo to express their gratitude for the gesture which has saved the girl’s life. Mother of the girl, Mrs Mercy San-Koffie, who was grateful for the gesture said had it not been for the help of Mrs. Akufo-Addo, little Harriet would have died.

She said they sought help from everywhere but to no avail until they Mrs Akufo-Addo was touched by the her daughter’s plight and offered to help. Mrs San-Koffie asked for God’s blessings upon the First Lady and prayed she continues to help the needy in the society. Mrs. Rebecca Akufo-Addo was joyous to see little Harriet with full of life, and asked for God’s blessings upon herself to enable her help other needy people like little Harriet. She asked Ghanaians to continue to pray for the President Akufo-Addo to make him succeed and make Ghana better for all Ghanaians.
