In recent years, the talented actor has been battling a demyelinating disease, a medical condition that has affected the nerves in his brain, eyes, and spinal cord.
The severe condition, which has no cure and can only be managed, can lead to vision loss and immobility, among other effects.
John Peasah’s medical condition has affected his ability to walk properly without any assistance from people around him.
The YOLO TV series actor and his sister previously created a GoFundMe to seek $280,000 to cover the cost of his treatments after his condition continued to deteriorate.
Former Vice-President and flagbearer Dr Mahamudu Bawumia was among the few people who visited the embattled actor at his residence and donated money.
