Updates from Kanokwan
Thank you all. We're at 19% now ($232). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 8% funded and the plan for hospital bed and mattress rental is now scheduled. - Kanokwan
Good news. Because of your gifts ($50 in total) I made the first payment toward part-time carer. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

how is Thawatchai doing now?
Thinking of you, Kanokwan. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Pune.
Wishing you the best, Kanokwan. Get well soon. My neighbor in Birmingham donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Bangkok
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Thawatchai
It's all in the list in the story. part-time carer (four months) is the big one at $1,000, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
Rooting for you, Kanokwan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Hamilton.

rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update. God bless
Keep going, Kanokwan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Stay strong, Kanokwan. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Nagpur
