Teen with unsightly birthmarks - and leukemia - needs help

 

Picture: Sanook

 

Sanook reported on the case of a 13 year old girl from Petchabun who has lived her entire life with her grandmother suffering from unsightly birth marks and leukemia.

 

Pictures of "Nong Nim" Nisakorn Panurak showed leathery skin that is terribly itchy for the young teen.

 

Gran Nutcharee Namsongkhram, 55, said that her parents abandoned her when she was tiny and she had raised her with only the occasional bit of financial help.

 

The parents moved away to work in other provinces.

 

Doctors at Chulalongkorn Hospital in Bangkok told her five years ago that she would need to go abroad for an operation.

 

But she was poor and did what she could to alleviate the girl's suffering at home.

 

In the hot weather she suffers terribly from itchy skin that is as hard as an elephant's, said her gran.

 

When she was diagnosed with leukemia it only made the suffering worse.

 

Donations that were given to her in 2013 have long since dried up.

 

Now a new appeal has been launched - people can send donations to Krung Thai bank in the name of the grandmother: #6140355955.

 

A number can also be called for further details: 088 282 6653.

Wow! Poor girl.

I just went to transfer this girl money from my account.

Did I do something wrong?

I fairly experienced at sending girls money, can't figure out why it didn't work.

Shocking that there is no free medical help for her here.......

Thais who were also attempting to donate noticed the error in the account number in the comments section here and it's been corrected:

The 4 and 1 have become transposed.
Apparently the correct account number is:
641-0-35595-5  not 6140355955.

People in other developing countries seem to have a problem getting medical treatment at home too.

The number of patients leaving Britain and flying overseas for medical treatment has trebled as NHS waiting times reach a record high, a Telegraph investigation has revealed.

 

Government data shows the number of people going abroad for healthcare has increased from 48,000 in 2014 to almost 144,000 last year as the health service struggles to cope with demand.

Joyce Robins, from Patient Concern, said: “It is a desperately sad state of affairs that people who have paid into the NHS all their lives are finding it is not there for them when they need it
