The brilliant and beautiful young lady needed to undergo an urgent procedure that involved the removal of the affected pelvic bone and replacement with a prosthesis.

The cost of the surgery was 150,000 in Euros which is 1,067,154.35 in Cedis and Rita's family was unable to raise that among themselves, for which reason the request was made for all and sundry to lend their support.
