MOTHER OF QUADRUPLETS APPEALS FOR HELP (PAGE 11, JULY 17, 2010)

A 35-year old mother of three, Ama Guebuaa , who gave birth to quadruplets three months ago has appealed to Ghanaians to support her in cash or kind to enable her cater for the babies.
Making the appeal when she visited the Kumasi Office of the Graphic Communications Group, she said since she gave birth to the quadruplets- a girl and three boys- at the Emena Hospital in April this year, it had been difficult to cater for their needs, in terms of feeding , medical care and clothing them. She already has three children, aged 15, 13 and 11.
She pointed out that the ‘new arrivals’ have not only crippled her financially, but also affecting her health, “ because breastfeeding them is very demanding, and as a subsistence farmer, I do not earn anything to enable me meet our demands”.
Madam Gyebuaa who now resides at Bomso, a Kumasi suburb, came to the office with her mother and other children who were supporting her to carry the four babies.
She said her husband did not earn much income because he was a labourer and had to work in farms to earn just a little income to support the family.
She explained that she took the decision to seek support through the Daily Graphic based on a decision with her husband, Thomas Arko, who was now farming at Sefwi.
“I am pleading with Ghanaians to come to our aid to enable us take very good care of the babies for them to grow up to become responsible citizens in future” she pleaded
