To people of good faith Let us save Little Felecia Prowd’s life!

A painful unfair start in life.

 

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!!
