Appiah in a statement revealed that the idea stemmed from the fact that sometime last year, her friend Jo-Anne Badu lost her life to the disease, and this sad occurrence, birthed the project which is dear to her heart.
Jackie in a bid to bring her idea to life refurbished one of the paediatric wards at the Korle Bu Teaching hospital Ghana, and named it ‘Jackie’s corner.’
Sharing the news on her Instagram page, she wrote;
''I am pleased to be here to hand over a new daycare center called “Jackie’s Corner” for children suffering from sickle cell disease.
Sometime last year my friend Jo-Anne Badu lost her life to sickle cell anemia. It therefore touched my heart and also inspired me to embark on a project to refurbish one of the pediatric wards into a fun vibrant day care center. As we all know Sickle pain is a unforgiven pain and no one deserves to go through that pain.In my attempt to ease some of
their pain, I have helped to transform one of the wards into a loving
day care center for their comfort I hope it brings happiness and comfort
to the children and also hope in their brief moment in the ward it
would help these lovely children forget their pains. I hope this new
ward gives them hope to keep living and keep fighting.
I am
honored to be here. I am privileged that I can smile and make others
smile too. It is my pleasure to hand over ‘Jackie’s corner’ to the
management of the Korle Bu Teaching hospital. Thank you for allowing me
do this. God bless Ghana and bless us all. ''
