Friends Of Baffour

John Oduro, better known by loved ones as Baffour Awuah is a young man of 33 years. He completed Prempeh College – Kumasi in 1997 and moved to United States in 2003.

He was involved in a car accident one fateful morning in January 2006, while on his way to work, which has left him paralyzed from the waist down. Due to reasons beyond his control, Baffour does not qualify for US Government assistance, for which all handicapped citizens are typically eligible. Due to his handicap, he has no income coming in, no medical insurance coverage and no government assistance. Life for him is very unbearable and bleak. We are pleading to the Ghanaian community, churches and anyone or organizations, which can find it in their hearts to help lift his spirits, and make his life a little easier.

“Friends of Baffour” is a group that has been formed by concerned Ghanaian to brainstorm on ideas, donate resources and more especially cash donations to help him to live through each day. We shall also schedule periodic visits to his house to keep him company. Baffour is confined to his apartment, and needs a full time caretaker. Previously, most of these services were offered voluntarily by his loved ones. We intend to set up a bank account for the donations that would be raised, for him to meet his daily needs such as food, incontinence supplies and rehabilitation programs. Baffour is in need of several items to help him get around, but the first and foremost on the minds of “Friends of Baffour” is an electric wheelchair. The cost of the electric wheel chair is $7000.00 as of now.

We appeal to the Ghanaian Community to come to the aid of a friend. Please find it in your hearts to bless this young man with however much you can afford to contribute. With nothing at his disposal at this point in his life, Baffour will be very grateful for what ever you can afford, whether in cash or in kind.
