Due to the lack of facilities for bone marrow transplants in Ghana, Blessed's family is desperately seeking financial assistance to cover the cost of the procedure in India.

Blessed's brother, Kofi Amedzekor, has shared a heartfelt plea on social media, detailing their struggle and outlining how the public can help.

The bone marrow transplant procedure is estimated to cost $80,000, equivalent to GH¢1,176,800.00, a sum far exceeding the family's financial capabilities.
