Welfare of Ebola Heroine Children
Donation protected
Hello Everyone!
My name is Adolphus Mawolo. I am a Liberian journalist, but most importantly, a friend of Salome Karwah, a courageous and selfless woman, Liberian Ebola fighter and TIME Person of the Year 2014 who died on Tuesday 21 February 2017 in Monrovia. She died from complications after delivery –leaving behind a few days old baby boy with her husband, James Harris.
Salome survived Ebola in 2014, but lost nine members of her family including her parents.
She returned to the Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) Ebola treatment unit where she had been treated to help other patients plagued by the virus. She worked as a psychosocial support aid. Her daily routine included telling her story of survival to patients for reassurance, caring for children who were battling with the virus –bathing them, feeding them, etc.
On Feb. 17 Salome delivered a healthy boy, Solomon, by cesarian section. She was discharged from hospital three days later. Hours after arriving home, she lapsed into convulsions.
She was rushed back to the hospital by her husband and her sister, but no one would touch her.
“They said she was an Ebola survivor,” says Josephine Manley, her sister. “They didn’t want contact with her fluids. They were afraid of her. No one would give her an injection.” Karwah died the next day.
Her husband is now left with the burden of caring for their children –two girls and two boys.
Heartbroken and jobless, James Harris, needs our help to cater for the welfare –medical, education, nutrition, shelter, clothing and caretaker for his children.
It's against this backdrop that he has accepted for me, to launch this fund raising project on his behalf which he hopes will generate money to help him care for his children. James, his late wife and I have been friends since working together for MSF in Monrovia during the Ebola crisis in 2014. I am seeking to raise 20,000 dollars through this campaign the next two weeks. Funds generated will be transfered directly to James' account for the purpose of underwriting the following costs for his children over the next five years or so.

Thank you very much for your willingness to financially contribute to this worthy cause.
