Jackie, 37, celebrated her birthday on Saturday 5th December
2020.
While visiting the hospital has become a habit, this year
she decided to celebrate it differently by refurbished the Children’s Ward of
the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital as a birthday gift for children with sickle
cell.
Appiah in a statement revealed that the idea stemmed from
the fact that sometime last year, her friend Jo-Anne Badu lost her life to the
disease, and this sad occurrence, birthed the project which is dear to her
heart.
“Sometime last year my friend Jo-Anne Badu lost her life to
sickle cell anaemia. It, therefore, touched my heart and also inspired me to
embark on a project to refurbish one of the pediatric wards into a fun vibrant
daycare center,” Jackie Appiah narrated. Watch the video below.
Her caption read:
🙏🏻 I am pleased
to be here to hand over a new daycare center called “Jackie’s Corner” for
children suffering from sickle cell disease. Sometime last year my friend
Jo-Anne Badu lost her life to sickle cell anaemia. It, therefore, touched my
heart and also inspired me to embark on a project to refurbish one of the
paediatric wards into a fun vibrant daycare center. As we all know Sickle pain
is a unforgiven pain and no one deserves to go through that pain. In my attempt
to ease some of their pain, I have helped to transform one of the wards into a
loving daycare center for their comfort I hope it brings happiness and comfort
to the children and also hope in their brief moment in the ward it would help
these lovely children forget their pains. I hope this new ward gives them hope
to keep living and keep fighting. I am honoured to be here. I am privileged
that I can smile and make others smile too. It is my pleasure to hand over
‘Jackie’s corner’ to the management of the Korle Bu Teaching hospital. Thank
you for allowing me to do this. God bless Ghana and bless us all.
