Cancer is a ruthless killer, and early detection through routine check-ups and screening is essential. In 2012, my family set up the Sena Anku memorial cancer foundation (in memory of my dear cousin that died from breast cancer) to help prevent, treat, and care for cancer patients in Ghana. Since its inception, we have run over 20 outreach programs, which has resulted in over 1,500+ breast cancer screenings. We have also covered the medical full medical costs of 11 cancer patients who could not afford chemotherapy and other surgical procedures. We have also donated patient stretchers, x-ray boxes, patient exam couches, chemotherapy chairs, and wheelchairs to the National Centre for Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine at Korle-bu Teaching Hospital, Accra Ghana. One of the goals of The Eyes of Fiifi is to raise cancer awareness, encourage routine check-ups, and ultimately raise funds for the foundation to continue the good work it has been doing on the ground in Ghana. Thus, I would be eternally grateful if you could donate to our gofundme campaign! Any amount would go a long in helping us serve and assist those who have been diagnosed with cancer in Ghana.
Update:
We reached our donation goal of $3000 thank you!
My name is Fredrick Tam, and I am a software engineer based in New York City. I love dabbling in anything that stimulates my creativity, and that is why I love writing. I love how the pen gives one the ability to create powerful and inspiring narratives. My literary interests span poetry, short stories, fiction, and non-fiction novel writing. I have been an immigrant all my life, spending most of my life so far on the African continent. Most of childhood was split between Botswana and Ghana, but I have also briefly toured South Africa, Cote d'Ivoire, and Zimbabwe. I moved to the USA in 2014, specifically to New York City for college. I studied computer science at Columbia University and graduated in 2018. I relocated to the Bay Area in 2018 to start work full time as an engineer, and moved back to NYC in 2021. Though moving around has been challenging, it has also allowed me to meet so many amazing people and have many beautiful experiences. These experiences have shaped the way I think and embrace the world. I value the power of diverse perspectives, cultures, religions, voices, and foods. These varying elements are integral to my work and are ultimately crucial elements of the kind of writing I want to do and be known for. Apart from programming and writing, I love singing, dancing, traveling, playing soccer, and reading.
