This ramshackle home is located way out of the main are of Pattaya and is home to Naphan, a student we sponsor through 'Kates's Project' and to four other family members.
Naphan is cared for by her grandmother and badly disabled grandfather. Grandfather was working and earning 10,000baht (£200) a month until his tripped and fell on the broken wooden walkway to the shack and is now paralysed and suffering firm diabetes.b
Grandma grow vegetables to sell and cares for Naphan and grandfather, her sister who also lives at the house brings in a small income to help ends meet.
The entire wooden walkway and part of the small wooden floor where grandad sits desperately needs replacing, grandmas brother has been collecting timber to replace the flooring but needs help with the cost of nails and some sturdy wooden supports, if this work was carried out it would be feasible to find a second hand wheelchair for him to give him some mobility.
We have asked Khun Noi of 'Kate's Project to buy Naphan some new clothes and shoes and put her in touch with a project that may be able to assist with a wheelchair.
