One of NOVICA’s beloved artisans in Ghana is very sick. Collins Korle has Chronic Kidney Disease and is in desperate need of a kidney transplant or dialysis. Collins has two young children and a large extended family who love him. Unfortunately, Collins cannot afford the medical care he needs to survive.
At NOVICA, our artists and our customers are family. Life is unfair sometimes and he is a good man. While we can’t buy his health back, we can help him extend his days. As a big NOVICA family, we can rally behind Collins and show him how much we love and support him.
We’ve set up an “Go Fund Me” crowdfunding page for Collins to help him pay for his dialysis. Can you please share this link with your friends and consider sponsoring a single dialysis treatment? Every treatment helps and would literally mean the world to Collins. Let’s #SaveCollins together.
[…] Our most complicated Happiness Project to date took place in Ghana. Our regional director, Kwabena, told us one of beloved artisans, Collins, was sick with chronic kidney disease. He desperately needed a kidney or dialysis, and could afford neither of these expensive treatments. We initially surprised him with a check to pay off his old hospital debts and then got to fundraising and organizing his treatment. NOVICA’s amazing customers donated enough money to pay for six months of dialysis at a non-profit center. Collins was so grateful! Today, Collins is still dealing with his illness but is back at work, replenishing his jewelry supplies. We’re helping him out on designs and other artists in Ghana are graciously working for Collins, for free. His new products should be on our site soon. We will be sure to let you know when they arrive! More on info on Collins can be found here. […]
