14-year Old Girl With Damaged Heart Needs $16k To Survive

A 14-year-old girl, Millicent Nukornoo, who is currently on admission at the 37 Military Hospital urgently needs financial assistance to survive a damaged heart condition.

According to medical professionals at the hospital, Millicent is diagnosed with damaged heart valves, with one valve deemed irreparably damaged, leading to swollen legs and significant discomfort.

To address her critical condition, her parents are in immediate need of $16,000 to cover the expenses of heart surgery expected to take place at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.

According to a publication by Citinewsroom.com, Millicent’s parents, Mr Nukornno Jonas Kudzo and madam Peace Quatewo are appealing for urgent financial support from Ghanaians, philanthropists, organizations, and individuals to help save her child’s life.

Madam Peace Quatewo said her child’s health condition has disrupted her education.

“Her illness began as a regular fever and body aches. It was identified as a heart disease at Battor Hospital 2 years ago, where it could be managed. She had a relapse when we visited the 37 Military Hospital, where she was diagnosed with damaged heart valves in December 2023.

“We were informed that she would need surgery to regain her health. Her education has been halted due to her illness. She was admitted to OLA Girls’ Senior High School, and we were in the process of requesting a transfer to Keta Senior High School when her condition worsened.

“At the moment, I am financially drained. We desperately need help and are appealing to the public to assist us in any way possible. Our daughter is in great distress, please support us,” she pleaded.

Father of the suffering girl, Mr Nukornno Jonas Kudzo on his part said “We are appealing to everyone to help us, so that our daughter can recover.”
