A 20-year-old lady, Lovina Nardoh, who resides in the Chinese Cool Storage in the 72nd Community, Montserrado County, is appealing to well-meaning Liberians, state actors and President George Manneh Weah to help her seek medication in Liberia or out of the country to be relieved from her present condition.
Nardoh, a resident of Sinoe County, is severely burnt from a fire that gutted the house she lived in on December 25, 2019.
explaining her story recently to some journalists in Paynesville, she stated, “I got burned on Wednesday, December 25, 2019 while trying to save my crawling son from the fire that gutted our home as a result of unattended fire and gasoline in the house.”
Besides being sternly burned to save the life of her crawling son, she lost her fiancée in the fire outbreak and her son’s face is also badly burned.
“As I am speaking to you journalists the pain from the burn is unbearable for me, and it is causing me serious discomfort; that is why I am appealing to philanthropists and leaders of Sinoe County, the Superintendent, the Senators and Representatives, including well-meaning Liberians who have the heart for their fellow human being to help me seek treatment either in Liberia or abroad,” Nardoh pointed out with tears running down from her eyes.
She said the incident happened after she had prepared their Christmas food, finished eating and another lady who got through wasted the coal from the coal pot behind the house, and fire caught the house.
Nardoh said after nearby neighbors alarmed that the house was on fire, her son was going into the house and she decided to chase and rescue him.
The 20 year-old lady said, after she picked up her son and getting out of the house, gallons of gas hidden in the house exploded, burning her and her son along with her fiancée, who was asleep. Her fiancée left in the house and was burned to death.
Nardoh said currently her son is with a relative of hers in Duala, Bushrod Island, and she does not have anyone to help her as her mother and father died during the Ebola outbreak in Liberia in 2014.
She said the severity of the burn has left her in a life-threatening condition, as she cannot sit or stand for a long time, which has left her living in agony.
Nardoh said when the incident occurred she was put in an ambulance immediately in Greenville, Sinoe County, and transported to the John F. Kennedy Memorial Hospital, Monrovia, where she was admitted for treatment. She said she spent five months at John F. Kennedy Memorial Hospital and was later discharged but her condition is going from bad to worst.
