A 10-year-old girl, who was suffering with a big swelling on her right cheek, has received financial and medical assistance following a Daily Monitor story.
Good Samaritans have provided clothing, bedding and school fees to Priscilla Akongo, 10, who says she was abandoned by her parents after she developed the strange swelling. She is also undergoing an operation at Lacor hospital to remove the swelling.
On July 3, 2020, Daily Monitor published a story depicting the worrying condition of Akongo, who lived in Ayago Parish, East Division, Lira City. Her right cheek started swelling around 2013, when Akongo had just turned two years.
