Popular Post webfact Posted October 9, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2017 "When dad asks me if I am tired I just lie and say no" - says exhausted 12 year old caring for paralyzed father Picture: Sanook Sanook reported on the story of a 12 year old girl who is forced to rummage in the trash and sell vegetables in the market to scrape money together to care for her paralyzed father. The story came to light on the Facebook page of Poramet Misonphop, a foundation medic who visited the family and has provided some basic assistance to the father and daughter. Twelve year old Satang said that her mum and sibling have left them all alone. "When my dad asks me if I am tired - I just lie and say no" said the preteen whose life is unlike her friends who have many things. She said that 5 years ago her father - who used to be a construction contractor - fell three floors while at work. Two or three months after that her mother said she was taking her and her younger sibling away. "I was seven," said Satang. "I asked if I could stay with dad - I said who would look after him if I leave too?" Right now Satang's life is hard - she manages to get a daily income of 50 to 100 baht selling vegetables in the market and finding items in the trash that might be worth something. A fund has been set up in the name of her father - Narin Arunwong - at Krung Thai bank account number 217 - 0 - 38423 - 5. Further information can be gained by calling 080-775-3230.

Popular Post Artisi Posted October 9, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2017 I'll drop 500 in this week when near the bank. Maybe a few of the so-called "monks" in the area could should some real Buddhist charity and drop a bit of surplus food in each day instead of feeding soi-dogs or dumping it in the bin. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one obviously strikes a chord with you Colin and is worthy of our support. I have saved 1,000 Baht by not drinking this week so half of that has been sent to the account at KTB. (and if you hadn't bl00dy phoned it would have got there 5 minutes earlier! ) Edited October 9, 2017 by Jip99 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post worgeordie Posted October 9, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2017 This is the kind of people the Government should be helping, as I am sure there are many more in similar circumstances, instead of buying weapons of war,that are a complete waste of money. regards worgeordie 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what if the mother returns because there is some money. At least the poor man will maybe get a bit more help. Also he is not old, he is only 38. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Artisi Posted October 9, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2017 Any TV members in the immediate area, maybe a visit (not to check bona fides) but see if other help is useful- like a few clothes for the girl, I could probably rustle up a few clothes form cousins etc - shoe size etc. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
