Social circumstances:
Godwin earns a living as a courier and motorbike taxi driver in Ghana. He lives alone with his 4-year-old son in a deprived neighbourhood of the city. The mother has been back in inpatient care for some time now due to a mental health condition. A return to the family and her resumption of her maternal duties at home – which she was not adequately capable of performing even before – is not expected in the medium term.
Medical details:
Last October, Godwin sustained a complete fracture of the lower right leg in a road traffic accident. Although the fracture ends were displaced, the leg was simply put in a plaster cast for cost reasons.
As expected, the bone has not healed. A follow-up X-ray six weeks later showed that the fracture gap was still present, with the bone ends having failed to heal together.
Osteosynthetic treatment (the method of first choice in the Western world!) must now finally be carried out: An intramedullary nail inserted through the fractured tibia will facilitate fracture healing. Godwin will then be able to return to work and earn a living. This has not been possible since the accident.
Tulisa wants to help Godwin get back on his feet in the truest sense of the word – please help us, dear donors.
