Regina Students Seek Help for their Six Year Coma Friend

by CityNews

 

 

CityNews – Regina Coeli students are raising funds for their classmate who has been suffering a severe coma for over six years, who is now under care of her 82 year old grandmother.

 

Hiranyaga ‘Mild’ Luang Dang, now aged 18, was a senior student of Regina Coeli College when she fell into a coma following a drowning accident in November 2011. She has been in a deep coma for the last six years and two months.

 

Sompong Chaiwattana, Mild’s grandmother who is aged 82, told reporters that her father left Mild and her mother a few months after the accident to start a new family with a new love interest. For the first three years, Mild’s mother relied on benefits from her job at the Provincial Electricity Authority to support her daughter’s treatment. In 2014, Mild’s mother passed away after a short battle with cancer. Sompong took over the care of Mild and her medical costs from that point onwards, using money given to her by Mild’s only other family member – her uncle who is now in his 50s.

 

They soon could not afford the bills so just under three years ago, Mild was taken out of hospital and re-located to their home. She is still reliant on medical equipment and regular doctors’ visits. Sompong has reportedly used her lifetime savings to achieve this, reaching monthly costs of between 30,000 and 50,000 baht.

What a sad story. As for the father, he can start all the new love interests that he wants, but he should have legal obligations towards his daughter at least while she was still a minor.

I hope the improvements in her conditions will continue.

Same has his old love interest - himself.

Why is this not covered by the "30 baht" insurance?

Conflicting information..... she is in a severe comatose state... also described as a deep comatose state

 

but then the kind folk seeking donations, say that she is responsive... so not in a deep or severe coma.

 

it would be nice if the ones chasing donations are right, and that she is recovering... but yes, a very sad story.

I had the same thought. When I tried, the account is registered to Regina Coeli, so it seems bona fide enough. I don't imagine the nuns using it for Chippendale shows... (ooops).
