A 5-year-old girl named
Felecia Prowd, was dragged several yards under the carriage of a Danish Refugee
Council’s (DRC) motor car in Little Wlebo Refugee Camp, Maryland County, on May
15, 2012.
Her head kept bouncing under
the motor car as the chauffeur drove on. When the chauffeur noticed the unusual
movement of the truck, he made a stop to see what the matter was. When he saw
who was under the truck, he was shocked. Little Felecia was hanging under the
truck helplessly bleeding profusely. Every part of her head was oozing blood.
Little Felecia became
unconscious. Immediately, the chauffeur took her to The J. J. Dossen Memorial Hospital
in Harper City. The Hospital is not qualified to deal with problem Little
Felecia was faced with - neurological. So Little Felecia was referred to The
Jackson F. Doe Memorial Hospital in Tapita, Nimba County for treatment. After
few days, she became conscious and was discharged from the Hospital.
Little Felecia was driven back
to her Bigtown residence from Tapita to be with her parents in Harper City,
Maryland County.
Because Little Felecia’s parents
lacked the know-how and skills in dealing with her bad neurological condition,
Little Felecia was forced to live with the problem for two years. She has since
then been delirious and mentally confused. As a result, she’s out of school.
To recover, Little Felecia
needs serious medical attention outside Liberia. Intervention cost could be
over thousands United States dollars which is well above the family's financial
strength.
DRC’s insurance is Mutual Benefits
Assurance (MBA) Company on 17th Street in Monrovia. MBA is doing
everything in its power to help underwrite the hospital bill to help save
Little Felecia’s life. But MBS says its Policy does not go beyond the borders
of Liberia. And that’s bad news for Little Felecia. But the good thing is DRC,
the nongovernmental organization holding the insurance and whose car dragged
Little Felecia, is expressing willingness
to help Little Felecia to travel abroad for neurological treatment.
Little Felecia’s dad passed
away few months ago and her mother is a housewife. The widow and relatives of
the little girl are struggling daily to save her life.
We have contacted
representatives of clinics outside Liberia. If needs be, we will just need to
collect the money to treat her.
Sarah Gbuo Prowd is forced to
raise her daughter alone. The little girl’s father left them few months ago
while Little Felecia was struggling with head pain. Since then the mother has
been struggling with all powers to see her baby healthy.
Little Felecia may be having serious
neurological problems that may lead to brain damage. She has an extreme case
that without proper medical attention her life will be in SEVERE danger!!
Her mother is a housewife and
does not have the capability to treat her daughter. It will cost thousands of United
States dollars to treat her daughter at the hospital. If we all get together we
can help this family and SAVE this precious little girl!!
