To people of good faith, Let us save little Felecia Prowd’s life!
By T. Gbuo-Mle Bedell 
Seven-year-old Felecia Prowd was dragged several yards under the carriage of a Danish Refugee Council’s (DRC) motor car in Little Wlebo Refugee Camp, Maryland County, on May 15, 2012 when she was just five years old.
Her head kept bouncing under the vehicle as the chauffeur drove on. When the chauffeur noticed the unusual movement of the truck, he made a stop to see what the matter was. When he looked under the vehicle he saw who was under the truck. She was Little Felecia. And he was shocked. Little Felecia was hanging under the truck helplessly and bleeding profusely. Every part of her head was oozing blood.
Little Felecia became unconscious. Immediately, the chauffeur took her to The J. J. Dossen Memorial Hospital in Harper City. Because the hospital is not qualified to deal with such problem Little Felecia was faced with neurological trauma. At that point, Little Felecia was referred to the Jackson F. Doe Memorial Hospital in Tapita, Nimba County for treatment. After few days, she became conscious and was discharged from the Hospital prematurely.
Little Felecia was driven back to her Bigtown residence from Tapita to be with her parents in Harper City, Maryland County.
Because little Felecia’s parents lacked the know-how and skills in dealing with her neurological conditions, she was forced to live with the problem for two years. She has since been delirious and mentally confused. As a result, she’s out of school.
To recover, little Felecia needs serious medical attention outside Liberia. Intervention cost could be over thousands United States dollars, which is well above the family’s finances.
The Danish Refugee Council’s (DRC) insurance company is Mutual Benefits Assurance (MBA) Company on 17th Street in Monrovia. Mutual Benefits Assurance is doing everything in its power to help underwrite the hospital bill to help save little Felecia’s life.
But Mutual Benefits Assurance says its policy does not go beyond the borders of Liberia. And that’s bad news for little Felecia.
But the good thing is, Danish Refugee Council, the nongovernmental organization holding the insurance and whose driver was driving their vehicle that dragged little Felecia several yards under its carriage, is expressing willingness to help little Felecia travel abroad for neurological treatment.
Little Felecia’s dad passed away few months ago and her mother is a housewife and a subsistent farmer. The widow and relatives of the little girl are struggling daily to save her life.
We have contacted representatives of clinics outside Liberia. If need be, we will just need to collect the money to treat her.
Sarah Gbuo Prowd is forced to raise her daughter alone. The little girl’s father left them few months ago while little Felecia was struggling with the head pain. Since then the mother has been struggling to see her baby healthy.
Little Felecia may be having serious neurological problems that may lead to brain damage. She has an extreme case that without proper medical attention her life will be in danger.
Her mother is a housewife and does not have the capability to treat her daughter. It will cost thousands of United States dollars to treat her daughter at the hospital. If we all get together we can help this family and SAVE this precious little girl!!
We are calling on people of good faith to help this little girl.
Let us save Little Felecia Prowd’s life!
