“I lived in my father’s house in Suame. My aunt sacked me and rented my room out. My father is dead. She even threw my father’s things out of his room after he died. My son lives with my friend in New Suame. I sleep on the street and I am at the mercy of the weather. My mother is alive but has a stroke and is bedridden,” she said.

Maame Serwaa survives on the benevolence of others

The homeless woman from Antoa said that her mother is in Swedru in the Central Region, which is quite far from Suame. Maame Serwaa also mentioned that since she was brought to the Suame roundabout, she has been cared for by some benevolent people in the market, especially one lady who sells mango.

When Oheneba Media spoke to the mango seller, called Angelina, she cared for Maame Serwaa just like her mother.

“I sell mango in front of the Suame Police Station. The woman was conveyed here in a tricycle (pragya) accompanied by two men around 10pm. But the people by the Police Station said they would not allow the men to leave the woman there. So they took her to the market and left her there. I saw her the next day and decided to care for the woman even though I don’t know her.”

Another woman called Ama said:

“I hear she has been here for three weeks. We got soap and other items to bathe for her and dress her up.”

Maame Serwaa hopes to heal and find a job to care for herself and her son.
