He has since then been on his own with no form of support from anyone.

@Suo_boooo and his friend found out that the 60-year-old man has no roof over his head and has been eating from dumpsters.

To make matters worse, Mr Brown is currently battling with a kidney problem and needs funds to seek proper treatment.

Ghanaians are therefore being called upon to come to the aid of the elderly citizen.

Ghanaians who saw the post expressed how emotional it is.
