(Isstories Editorial):- Marietta, Georgia Sep 17, 2025 (Issuewire.com) – Community advocate and healthcare executive Dr. Shaneque Metellus is set to travel to Ghana this week with a mission that blends compassion, advocacy, and action. Through the generosity of her supporters, she will be providing bicycles to the special needs clients at Hopesetter Autism Center in Ghana.
This initiative began with one simple request from the center’s director: bikes for her clients. That single request has sparked a wave of generosity, uniting families, friends, and organizations behind Dr. Metellus’ mission.
“One simple request–one powerful impact. Because of my amazing supporters, we’re delivering more than just bicycles; we’re delivering freedom, inclusion, and joy to children with special needs,” said Dr. Metellus.

This mission is especially close to Dr. Metellus’ heart. Her passion is deeply fueled by her daughter, Shamia, who is autistic. As a mother, she has walked the journey of advocacy, love, and perseverance firsthand. Her experiences with Shamia inspire her work to ensure that children and families–no matter where they live–receive the tools, opportunities, and dignity they deserve.
Dr. Metellus will not be traveling alone. She will be joined by the talented Dr. Muriam Cinevert, author of Girl Just Show Up and a powerful motivational speaker, as well as actress and comedian Schell Purcell, who recently appeared in Tyler Perry’s latest film Straw. Together, they aim to not only uplift children with special needs but also bring inspiration, joy, and empowerment to women–encouraging them to rise, lead, and embrace their full potential.
In addition to the bike donation, the group will also be attending the International Girl, Just Show Up Women’s High Tea Awards in Ghana, a celebration recognizing the resilience, leadership, and achievements of women making a difference. Their presence at this prestigious event underscores the mission’s broader goal of honoring women and fostering global sisterhood.
The project not only highlights the power of community giving but also underscores Dr. Metellus’ lifelong commitment to serving vulnerable populations, especially children and families impacted by autism.
Dr. Metellus, who has served on boards such as Autism Speaks, the Georgia PTA, and the Atlanta Epilepsy Foundation, is widely recognized for bridging healthcare expertise with heartfelt advocacy. Her Ghana mission reflects her belief that small acts of kindness can ripple into life-changing outcomes.
The bike donation is expected to enhance physical activity, mobility, and social inclusion for children at Hopesetter Autism Center, offering a tangible way for them to explore, play, and grow.
