29-year-old Ashida Abass Nyasu, a nurse from the Tumu Municipal Hospital in the Sisaala East Municipality of Ghana’s Upper West Region, is fighting for her life after being diagnosed with kidney failure.
This young mother of two, who is currently breastfeeding her three-month-old baby girl, has seen her world turned upside down since her diagnosis on January 14, 2025.
Ashida’s journey in the medical field has been marked by her commitment to saving lives.
Now, as she faces her own health crisis, she finds herself in desperate need of support.
Following extensive medical evaluations at the Upper West Regional Hospital, it has been clinically recommended that Ashida undergo a kidney transplant in India—a procedure that comes with a staggering estimated cost of USD 18,500.
This amount does not include additional expenses for transportation, accommodation, and feeding during her stay abroad.
As Ashida battles her illness at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra, the emotional toll on her family is palpable.
Her husband and children are struggling to cope with the reality of their beloved wife and mother being gravely ill.
The family is now making a passionate appeal to the public for financial assistance to help cover the costs of the life-saving transplant.
“I have saved lives, now I need help to save my own,” Ashida tearfully expressed, her voice filled with desperation. “I want to be there for my children, to watch them grow and to continue my work as a nurse. Please, I am pleading for your support.”
The community that Ashida has served tirelessly is rallying around her, hoping to raise the necessary funds to facilitate her treatment.
Friends, colleagues, and well-wishers are encouraged to contribute in any way they can, as every little bit helps in the fight for Ashida’s life.
A screenshot of the estimated costs for the transplant has been shared widely, serving as a reminder of the urgent need for assistance.
The family of Ashida would be immensely grateful for any support that can be provided during this challenging time.
As the clock ticks, Ashida’s family remains hopeful that the kindness of strangers will help them secure the funds needed for her transplant.
In a world where healthcare can often be a matter of financial means, Ashida’s story is a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the power of community support.
