 The Suncity Radio Morning Show Team, through the benevolence of its listeners, has donated an amount of Two thousand six hundred Cedis (GHS2,600) to three visually impaired siblings in Sunyani.

This comes after the mother of the three siblings in an emotional interview with the Host of "Suncity Morning Drive" Mark Abisah (Papa Abisah) appealed to the general public for support towards the upkeep and medical care of the three children.

Mrs. Naomi Pomaa, mother of the three siblings disclosed that the children, Sandra Aniniwaa, 24, Gloria Pomaa Yeboah, 17, and Lamford Acheampong Yeboah, 8 years, were not born blind but lost their sight as they were growing.

The sad situation, coupled with stigma from neighbors, she said, has left them devastated and has put them in emotional trauma.

As if that wasn't enough, Mrs. Pomaa again disclosed that all three children have been diagnosed with diabetes which has worsened their plight.

“The saddest development is that they have been diagnosed with diabetes, and this has made their condition worse. Now when you talk to them, they can’t hear properly” she said.

The CEO of Cliffmelvyn Ltd Company, Mr. Prince Osei Kwadwo a.k.a One-In Town, and CEO of Sikapa Farms, Mr. Fred Osei Asante, on behalf of the Morning Show team, presented the amount to Mrs. Pomaa.

Mrs. Pomaa thanked the management of Suncity Radio, the Suncity Morning Show Team, and all donors for their kind gesture.

“I have followed Suncity Radio for a long time and I’m not surprised that the station has been able to raise money to support me, I know of the good things they are doing to help people in need. I thank God for the station and all those who contributed. I ask that you remember us in your prayers” Things are really hard," she said.

Leader of the Team and the Host of Suncity Morning Drive, Mark Abisah appealed to the general public to desist from any form of stigmatization against people with disability, saying, disability is part of being human.

He said almost everyone will temporarily or permanently experience disability at some point in life.

Mr. Abisah further called on individuals, groups, NGOs, and faith-based organizations willing to support the children to contact Suncity Radio in Sunyani.

Meanwhile, Mr. George Yaw Ankamah, the Bono Regional Director of the Department of Children, has promised to support the three siblings with free diabetes medication.
