URGENT!!! Please help a beautiful boy
We desperately need some support to help a beautiful boy from Childlife.
We have a boy called Leelong (about 15 years old) who we think has autism, maybe downs syndrome (he has not been diagnosed) and also epilepsy.
We used to care for him at the shelter but he returned to his village (last year) when we didn’t have enough staff to care for him. When we returned to see if he wanted to come back he was happy living in the village and working the fields with his foster family.
In addition to his existing conditions which require medication, he became very ill over a month ago, and his health has seriously deteriorated. He had an abscess on his leg which prevented him from walking. Leelong was left for over a month in his house to look after himself. He spent one month lying down unable to move to go to the toilet, and unable to walk. He has now become really weak, and needs a long period of recovery to build his strength back.
Kru Ngaow collected Leelong from his village June 9th, and he spent one night in Mae Sai hospital. He was then transferred to Chiang Rai, where he spent four nights. The situation is still very serious. Childlife needs to provide Leelong with medication, and round the clock care. He is unable to look after himself, or move, so requires constant help.
We urgently need funds to cover the cost of 6 months intensive care, including full-time care staff, medication, food, and general support, totalling £ 1000 (approx, 70,000 Baht).
If you can help in this emergency situation please donate online. He’s a really sweet boy but looks very sad at the moment and we urgently need to help him recover and put a smile back on his face.
