In a remarkable display of compassion and leadership, Odeneho Kwaku Appiah, fondly known as COKA, a former New Patriotic Party (NPP) Chairman, has donated a brand-new wheelchair and an undisclosed amount of money to Philemon Quashie, a 43-year-old physically challenged man from Offinso South. This selfless act has brought hope and relief to Quashie, who faces mobility challenges daily.
The Story Behind the Donation:
During the launch of the unity walk in the constituency last weekend, Quashie was spotted in his worn-out wheelchair, struggling to navigate the terrain. COKA, who was present at the event, noticed Quashie’s difficulties and was moved to act. He promised Quashie a new wheelchair, saying, “Your wheelchair isn’t strong enough, but for your enthusiasm, I will get you a new one.”
On September 6, a team comprising the Offinso South NPP constituency Chairman, Salathiel Kwaku Takyi, and the Assembly member for the Abofuo Electoral area, Hon Sarfo, visited Quashie’s home to deliver the wheelchair and financial support. Quashie was overwhelmed with emotion as he received the donation, expressing his heartfelt gratitude to COKA and the NPP team.
A Life-Changing Gesture:
COKA’s generosity has significantly improved Quashie’s quality of life, enabling him to move around with greater ease and independence. This act of kindness serves as a testament to COKA’s commitment to supporting vulnerable members of his community.
COKA’s donation is a shining example of leadership and compassion. His selfless act has made a tangible difference in Quashie’s life and serves as an inspiration to others. As we celebrate this heartwarming gesture, we are reminded of the power of kindness and the impact it can have on individuals and communities.
