After spending nearly four months in the hospital, she was discharged to continue her life dependent on a dialysis machine. Bertha, who used to save people's lives at the hospital, has since been fighting for her own life and urgently needs support.
Three years on, her condition has deteriorated to a point where dialysis is no longer sufficient to save her life. She urgently needs a kidney transplant. Doctors estimate that the transplant would cost over GH¢500,000; however, her family cannot afford it.
Therefore, they have appealed to the general public to support Bertha's quest for a new kidney.

Bertha's husband speaks on wife’s condition
Bertha's husband, Avotri J. Seyram, popularly known as Mr Love, speaking exclusively to YEN.com.gh, shared some fond memories of her adorable wife.
He indicated that his wife turned down all suitors, including wealthy men from France, Britain, and America, and chose to be with him instead. He added that because of this, he is willing to do anything to save her, as she has a good heart.
"As her husband, I don’t love her just because of any of these qualities. I love and care for her that much because she loves me more than herself, and she has proven it. I am too young to lose my wife when you can help me save her."
Bertha previously got healthcare from the Ridge Hospital but has now been transferred to the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.
