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.
