Mother Seeks Help for Disabled Toddler Needing Costly Medical Formula
A mother in Chachoengsao is seeking help for her 2-year-old daughter with congenital disabilities who requires costly medical formula costing 7,200 baht monthly, frequent therapy visits, and may need a feeding tube. The family's sole income
In Bueng Nam Raksa subdistrict, Bang Nam Priao district, Chachoengsao province, a 29-year-old mother is requesting help after her 2-year-8-month-old daughter was born with congenital disabilities. The child must visit a doctor 2-3 times monthly for physical therapy, with each trip costing 1,000 baht. At her latest medical appointment, doctors indicated the child may need a feeding tube inserted directly into her abdomen because she has difficulty swallowing and cannot take food orally through normal feeding methods.
Additionally, the child requires medical-grade powdered milk costing 450 baht per can, consuming 16 cans monthly, plus diapers, straining the family budget further. The mother has left her job to care for her disabled daughter, while the father serves as the sole breadwinner with a monthly income of 12,000 baht supporting five family members.
The family's 8-year-old son, who attends second grade, frequently misses school to help his mother care for his sister. At times the family lacks sufficient funds even for basic schooling expenses. The family is appealing to relevant organizations and compassionate individuals for assistance with medical formula and diapers to ease the household financial burden. Although they have received some support from certain agencies, it remains insufficient for their needs. Anyone willing to help can contact the child's mother directly at 093-573-6974.
