The compassionate mother of six made the call in a video shared on her TikTok handle @@rohe_rnurse
On her part, Blankson has paid for WASSCE for about 50 students and helped returning tertiary students with stipends.
She disclosed that she's planning to set up a foundation soon so she can help more indigent students fulfil their educational dreams and achieve their ambitions.
Among the multitude of messages she receives, approximately 85% are desperate calls for help. A poignant concern emerges—financial limitations shackle the dreams of young minds eager to register for WAEC and JAMB. With looming JAMB registration deadlines, the urgency becomes palpable.
The call extends beyond digital borders, reaching out to honourable individuals, businessmen, and businesswomen. The mission is clear: support 5 to 10 students in their educational pursuits by providing JAMB registration assistance.
Blankson emphasizes that this is not merely an act of kindness but a commendable step towards securing the future.
