John Peasah, Known as Drogba, Urgently Needs $280K for Life-Saving Treatment Abroad

Ghanaian actor John Peasah, popularly known as Drogba of YOLO fame, is in urgent need of $280,000 to support his ongoing medical treatment for Stiff Person Spectrum Disorder and GAD Positive Cerebellar Ataxia. He has been suffering from a worsening demyelinating disease and is facing severe health challenges. In an Instagram post on August 14, 2024, Peasah shared that his current treatments have been ineffective, and his financial resources are nearly exhausted. Despite the immense challenges, Peasah expressed profound gratitude to his family, friends, and the Vice President of Ghana for their generous donations and support. However, he emphasized the urgent need for additional funds to cover the costs of specialized care abroad, including treatments in pain medicine, physical therapy, psychology, occupational therapy, biofeedback, and nursing at a specialized Pain Rehabilitation Center.

In March 2024, it was revealed that John Peasah was suffering from demyelination, a serious health condition that affects the nervous system, impacting vision, coordination, and sensation. His sister, Hannah Mensah, disclosed that Peasah’s health issues first surfaced during the final season of the popular series YOLO.

In response to his condition, there has been an outpouring of support, including a visit and financial contributions from Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the NPP’s flagbearer, and other well-wishers. A fundraising campaign has been launched to help cover the extensive costs of his treatment abroad. As John Peasah continues his battle for recovery, the call for support remains strong, and efforts are ongoing to raise the necessary funds for his specialized care.
