Klicks Africa Foundation, an organisation that supports teens and youth on the Autism Spectrum has donated GHS100,000 to Madam Mary Yawo Grunitzky, a 75-year-old Special needs mother.
Madam Mary Grunitzky, a widow and a single mother, has a 44-year-old
son with cerebral palsy and has engaged in all kinds of jobs in addition to solely
taking care of his son to be able to survive daily.
Mrs Mary Amoah Kuffuor, Founder and Executive Director of Klicks
Africa Foundation who made the presentation to Madam Grunitzky said she was
tagged on Facebook by the Special Mothers Project, an advocacy programme for
families of children with cerebral palsy with Madam Grunitzky's story.
She said was touched by the plight of the aged woman knowing
how difficult it is to nurture a child with disability and thus decided to
raise funds to support the woman.
“The woman is old and needs support, she cannot do much to
support herself,” she told the Special Mothers Project.
Mrs Kuffuor expressed her profound gratitude to her Facebook
followers for believing in her and supporting her to support the aged special needs,
Mom.
Madam Grunitzky who was visibly surprised by the donation,
could only utter “God bless all who donated to me abundantly.”
Mr Agbeko Awadzi, co-founder of the Special Mothers Project,
also expressing gratitude to the donors, said Madam Grunitzky reached out to
the Special Mothers Project calling for help.
“The Special Mothers Project took to social media to share
the story of Madam Grunitzky and the results has been positive.”
He expressed special thanks to Mrs Kuffuor for taking the
issue up.
The Special Mothers Project is an advocacy and awareness creation programme on cerebral palsy issues and issues affecting families of children with disabilities.
