A young Ghanaian woman who moved abroad recently to pursue further studies has been confronted with a devastating situation in Canada.
The young unidentified woman has become pregnant and abandoned by a Ghanaian community she lived with.
According to narrations by Maame Pokuah, a Ghanaian resident in Toronto, the young woman was living with some church members when she became pregnant but decided to hide it from them.
However, as the saying goes, pregnancy can never be hidden forever. Eventually, the church members discovered her condition and expelled her from their community.
Due to this, the woman, who is relatively new in Canada has become homeless, staking shelter on the streets and parks of Toronto, without any relatives or friends to turn to for help.
As a result of this difficult situation she is currently facing in Canada, the young woman is purportedly contemplating ending her life, according to Maame Pokuah.
When Maame Pokuah heard of the young woman's sad ordeal, she decided to bring the issue to social media to seek help from Ghanaian residents in Canada.
In an Instagram video sighted by YEN.com.gh, Maame Pokuah appealed for temporary accommodation for the pregnant woman to stay and leave after delivery.
The young woman, who is reportedly 32 weeks pregnant, stated that she would return home to Ghana after giving birth.
"Please help me, I now sleep on the streets. So please help me get a place to stay. God willing, when I when deliver successfully, I will return to Ghana," she said.
Ghanaians online react to the video
Ghanaians who came across the video on Instagram shared their views on the pregnant woman's predicament.

"But on a serious note I believe she didn’t get pregnant by herself. What happened to the person that got her pregnant?"
@abeena1 also said:
"Where does she live, I can get some baby stuff for her."
@amaowusua2024 had this to say:
"The question is, did she brought the pregnancy from Ghana or she got pregnant when she get into Canada? which one, if she got pregnant in Canada then where is the baby daddy? He should take care of the pregnancy and also give the lady place to sleep. Ah Ah Ah hmmmmm."
