Heartbroken Woman with Kidney Disease Sells Everything to Pay for Treatment After Social Security Requires Upfront Payment

Jitthima, a 47-year-old office worker, is battling end-stage kidney disease and has exhausted all her financial resources trying to pay for treatment. After being forced to stop working, she has sold all her possessions and has no means to cover the required upfront medical expenses. Living alone after losing her parents, she must undergo dialysis three times a week, with each session costing over 2,482 baht, plus additional expenses for travel and filter costs. The Social Security system's requirement to pay upfront for 60 days has left her unable to continue her essential medical treatments, pushing her to desperately seek help through social media and donations.
