A young woman who left Ghana in search of greener pastures in the Middle East is battling for her life after a devastating illness.

In a post sighted by YEN.com.gh on X (formerly Twitter), the lady looked frail, as her condition had become severe.

According to narration in the video, the company that the lady worked under refused to seek medical help for her, saying she was only dramatising her situation.

The young Ghanaian lady had on many occasions asked to be relieved of her duties and sent back home to Ghana, but her employers have refused, according to the narrations.

"She said she can no longer do the work and wants to go back to Ghana, but the company says to pay $3,000, equivalent to GH¢45,745.77, before they would release her," the voiceover in the video said.

Having been neglected and left to her fate, the young lady has asked her family back home in Ghana to sell off a plot of land she purchased to help her "buy herself" off from the company.
