New Appeal to Support Nongham
March/April 2019...The Gift of Happiness Foundation leader, Mr Eddie Haworth recognised that Nongham, a young lady who lives in a shantytown shed on the edge of Suttawat Village near the main Airport for Bangkok was in great need of essential aid and medical treatment. This is because her mother is simply unable to provide much of her needs and those of her disabled Grandmother and two siblings...
If you are reading about Nongham for the first time, please familiarise yourself with some of the details and reasons for this appeal by having a quick read below or ask for more information here; [email protected]
Eddie has been trying to find ways of providing the daily needs for Nongham and her family ever since he spotted the genuine efforts by Nongham's mother to keep making ends-meet through working very long hours in a local factory and not receiving any support from the long estranged father of her three children.
She truly struggles to provide things like adult diapers, nourishing food, clean drinking water, toiletries and soft bedding, towels etc for Nongham her sibling and Granny, so Eddie is determined to get her as much well deserved support as possible...
Hence this new appeal for support!

Please take a few moments to think about how you can help Nongham by sending
just the price of a bag of dog food every month?
| In May 2019; The Gift of Happiness Foundation leader, Eddie Haworth launched an appeal for ongoing support to help provide Nongham with a dedicated carer who can feed her a nutritious diet and make sure she gets regular physiotherapy to build her strength enough for her to at least sit upright in a wheelchair. Also in May 2019; Nongham had a full medical check-up at the Camillian Hospital in Bangkok and she was immediately offered a place as a daycare outpatient in the Camillian Home for Disabled children handicapped children, close to where Nongham lives. Unfortunately, the home later decided they were unable to take Nongham due to staff shortages and lack of daily transportation. But they did offer to take Nongham once-a-week to provide her with physiotherapy and nourishing food, plus some training to help her family members understand exactly what kind of food and other daily needs they should try to provide to help build her strength. |  |
 Director at the Camillian Home for Disabled children, Father. Luke Anusorn Ninkhet and Eddie Haworth | Since Nongham started those weekly visits in July 2019, she has gained a little weight and is responding more to her mother and carers, sometimes with a slight smile of approval when they are feeding her. Support already given is very much appreciated, but we are still in great need of small, yet regula monthly donations from anyone who can afford to make such commitments and maintain their support for at least one year at a time. A couple of Eddie's friends already send two monthly credit card donations and another friend of the Charity often sends diapers and toiletries to Eddie, who then takes everything directly to Nongham and her mum. |
Plus, the Camillian Hospital has agreed to give Nongham a few weeks hospital stay to get her started on a new strength building diet and to give further training to her carer. They will also provide ongoing training to Nongham's carer and other family members who take turns in looking after her 24/7. The Hospital Manager, Father Renato has agreed to provide this support just as soon as Eddie or any volunteers at the Gift of Happiness Foundation can find enough long term sponsors to cover the costs for a carer's salary, food, liquid nutrition, diapers etc...
(Quote the Doctor at Camillian hospital; There's no point in builder up her strength if it can't be maintained once she goes back home?)
