She went on to add that she needed to undergo an urgent correctional surgery or lose her sight completely.
However, she is not strong enough financially to foot the cost of the surgery.
As a result, she has made a passionate appeal to Ghanaians to come to her aid to help her raise a required amount of GHC 10,000 to help her get treatment before she goes blind.
According to her, doctors say her inability to raise the amount within the shortest possible time may cost her both eyes.
Maame Gyanwaa is noted for many roles she has played in numerous Ghanaian movies spanning almost a decade.
She is however more popular in recent times for the role she plays in the situational comedy, Cow and CHicken which co-stars Funny Face and Bismarck The Joke.
