According to Yen.com.gh, the late Prosper was an award-winning footballer who represented his school in competitions and usually got selected to play in other zones when he was under 13.

Before his death, Afi Antonio Foundation was funding portions of the treatment through social media fundraising, the news website reports.

The mother of the deceased youngster who has been living in a structure made with dry woods and roofed with thatch will soon have a better place to lay her head.
