At the time the lady got pregnant she was living with some members of an African church. However, when the church discovered that she was pregnant, they evicted her from their premises.

The heavily pregnant lady, without anyone to turn to, resorted to sleeping in the cold outside the streets and parks of Canada.

The lady's devasting situation was brought to the attention of Maame Pokuah, a Ghanaian resident in Toronto, and she decided to use her social media platforms to solicit help for the pregnant woman.

Updating her followers on the homeless pregnant woman's predicament, Maame Pokua has announced that the Ghanaian community in Canada have massively responded to her appeal for help.

She stated that some individuals and organisations in Canada have presented three accommodation options for the homeless pregnant woman to choose from, one in Edmonton and two in Toronto.

Maame Pokuah said they have settled on accommodation in Toronto for the lady to live in for the time being.

"The organisation has also agreed to take care of her until she gives birth. One of our brothers here has also offered a two-bedroom apartment in Edmonton, so God willing when she gives birth we will move them to Edmonton to live in the house," she said.
