Cancer-stricken boy demands to sit in plane before dying

A cancer-stricken boy, who has been told by doctors that he may die anytime soon after his parents failed to fund his treatment, has made one last wish before his death.

The boy who has been suffering from a protracted cancer and has been told by medical doctors that nothing can be done to save him, asked nurses of an undisclosed major hospital in Accra to drive him to the Kotoka International Airport so he can sit in a plane before his date with death.

The nurses granted his wish and drove him in an ambulance to the Airport where he had the opportunity to sit in a Delta Airlines flight and took photographs with the cabin crew.

Nurses who spoke to Starr News on condition of anonymity have failed to divulge information about the boy's health after several enquiries.

According to the nurses, parents of the child are fed up and depressed and are only awaiting the young boy’s death.

According to information picked up by Starrfmonline.com, the boy was kept at home because the parents could not afford the cost of the treatment.

Several advances made by benevolent citizens to help the young boy have been turned down by the parents.
