Care for Surachai, 76: help cover a carer and medication in Nakhon Ratchasima
Surachai can't afford the care He needs after the death of his spouse; we're asking for $800.

I'm caring for my father, who's 76. After the death of his spouse Surachai can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Surachai desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Surachai worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $800 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $440
• Medication and prescriptions: $210
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $95
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thanks for sharing this, Chatchai. Wishing Surachai a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Take care.
Best of luck, Chatchai. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We're a small family in Sydney but we're thinking of you.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Nakhon Ratchasima.
Thank you. If you're in Nakhon Ratchasima I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
how is Surachai doing now?
Good luck, Chatchai. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
hope this works out for you. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Augsburg.
take care. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless!
Get well soon. I hope November is when things finally get easier
Sending good thoughts, Chatchai. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in San Francisco this morning. Thinking of Nakhon Ratchasima.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
