JoyNews listeners raise GH¢40K to support 17-year-old student with cerebral palsy attend SHS

Seventeen-year-old Priscilla Nana Ama Samson, a student with cerebral palsy, has returned to senior high school after Ghanaians came together to support her education. Priscilla was initially concerned she wouldn't be able to resume school because her mother couldn't afford the items listed on her school prospectus. JoyNews brought attention to Priscilla's situation, leading to an impressive response from listeners and members of the public.

A total of GH¢40,000 has been raised to help Priscilla meet her school-related needs and return to the classroom. With this support, Priscilla has rejoined her peers and begun a new chapter in her education. This marks a significant shift from the uncertainty she faced when basic school requirements threatened to keep her away from school.

The assistance has also alleviated financial strain on her mother, who had been struggling to meet the costs of sending her daughter back to school. For Priscilla, the immediate worry of whether she could return to school has been replaced by the chance to continue her education among her peers. The family has expressed gratitude to the JoyNews audience and everyone who contributed to making her return to school possible.
