In a quiet hospital room at J.J Dossen Hospital in Harper City, Maryland County, Ms. Beatrice Walloh lies helplessly on a narrow bed; her once vibrant spirit now weakened by an illness she never saw coming.
Each day is a fight for survival, and with every passing hour, the hope of a cure slips further away unless help arrives soon.
Beatrice, a 45-year-old mother and hardworking woman from Garraway Beach in Grand Kru County, is battling a severe liver disease Hepatitis-a condition that has ravaged her health and brought her life to a standstill. Once known for her energy and resilience, she is now in constant pain; too weak to walk or even eat without assistance.
“This is not the Beatrice we knew,” a family member said tearfully. “She was strong, independent, and always helped others. Today, she can barely sit up.”
Before her illness, Beatrice supported herself and her family through small-scale trading in her hometown. But everything changed when she started experiencing persistent fatigue, loss of appetite, and severe abdominal pain.
Initial, medical consultations revealed liver damage, and further tests confirmed Hepatitis a potentially fatal disease if left untreated. With no adequate healthcare services in Garraway, her family rushed her to the J.J Dossen Hospital in Maryland County, clinging to the hope that doctors there could save her life.
“The situation became unbearable,” explained her brother, Eleazar Wolloh. “We had to transport her here because she was getting worse, but we are now running out of money to continue her treatment.”
Doctors have begun administering medication and conducting diagnostic tests, but Beatrice’s treatment requires more including specialized drugs, continuous monitoring, and regular lab work all of which come at a cost far beyond what her family can afford.
The family says their limited resources have already been exhausted on transportation, food, and initial hospital bills. Without urgent financial support, they fear that Beatrice’s condition could deteriorate rapidly.
“This is a life-threatening condition,” said Eleazar. “We are appealing to our lawmakers, the county leadership, humanitarian groups, and every kind-hearted Liberian. We cannot save her alone.”
Despite her suffering, Beatrice’s spirit remains unbroken. From her hospital bed, she whispers words of hope and faith. “I believe God will touch people’s hearts to help me,” she said softly. “I just want to live I want to recover my strength again.
Her family is now calling on humanitarian organizations, the government, and citizens at home and abroad to stand with them in this desperate fight. They believe that with timely support, Beatrice’s life can be saved.
We are pleading with everyone,” Eleazar said, holding back tears. “Our sister’s life is in danger. Please help us save her.”
Every contribution, no matter how small, can bring Beatrice one step closer to recovery. Donations can be sent through Mobile Money using the following numbers: 0881114198, 0771996214.
The family is also asking the public to keep Beatrice in their prayers as they continue to hope for a miracle.
As the sun sets over Harper City, Beatrice Walloh continues her brave fight against a disease that has taken so much from her. And while her body grows weaker, her hope remains strong a hope that someone, somewhere, will hear her cry and reach out a helping hand before it’s too late.
