Popular Ghanaian actor John Peasah, also known as Drogba from the popular TV show YOLO, is seeking help from the public as he battles a series of health conditions.

The actor has been struggling with a demyelinating disease that has worsened over time, leading to further complications. The worsening of his condition has seen him diagnosed with several serious illnesses, including Stiff Person Spectrum Disorder and GAD positive Cerebellar Ataxia, among others.

Peasah's health challenges have escalated, affecting nearly every aspect of his life. His symptoms range from severe back pain that affects his legs, making it difficult for him to walk, to visual disturbances, tremors, dizziness, and obstructive sleep apnea.

Drogba appeals to Ghanaians for more help

Faced with mounting medical bills and the need for specialised treatment, the actor has set up a GoFundMe campaign and is reaching out to Ghanaians for financial support.

He is aiming to raise $280,000 to cover the cost of his ongoing treatments, which include expensive therapies and care from experts in pain medicine, physical therapy, psychology, occupational therapy, and other specialised fields. His treatment plan also requires IVIG therapy and plasma exchange, both of which are costly.

Peasah has expressed deep gratitude for the support he has already received from family and friends and the Vice President of Ghana, Dr Bawumia. However, the severity of his condition means he needs additional financial assistance to continue receiving the care that could potentially save his life.
