Florence, in a heartbreaking TikTok video, called on Ghanaians both home and abroad to come to her rescue.

"Please, my fellow Ghanaians, I need your help. I'm stuck in Spain, and my living condition is not good. It was better for me in Ghana. I was a very good student in teacher training college, and my uncle came for me to bring me to seek greener pastures. But he himself who brought me here was maltreating me and then I was thrown out of the house," she said.

"And where I'm staying, my living condition is not good. Please, I need your help. Whatever help that you can offer, I really need your help. I want to come back to Ghana, but I have not found a job yet to pay for a plane ticket," she added.

Florence reportedly hails from Berekum in the Bono East Region of Ghana and has a 5-year-old son, whom she left with her mother to travel with her uncle to Spain.
