Former Black Stars player Asamoah Gyan is rallying support to assist comedian Funny Face in overcoming his financial struggles.

In an Instagram post, the retired footballer appealed to his followers and fellow Ghanaians to contribute towards helping the comedian, who previously brought joy to children through his work.

Asamoah Gyan highlighted that Funny Face's plea to earn money to reunite with his children is a circumstance that deeply moved him.

Gyan urged everyone to demonstrate compassion, emphasising that "let’s show him love cos remember he brought joy to Kids way back and if he can’t afford to see his kids cos he doesn’t have, why can’t we support him with any penny we can."

To facilitate contributions, Asamoah Gyan shared Funny Face’s mobile money account details in his post adding that he aims to raise approximately GH₵1000 for the actor.
