Phue is a one-year-old girl who lives in Thailand. Her parents are originally from Burma. In 2013, the whole family moved to Thailand because her parents needed better jobs to pay for their children’s school fees.
Recently, Phue’s neck became stiff, and she couldn’t turn her head. She had to turn her whole body to look around. When her mother pinched the left side of her torso, she did not react. She was also experiencing fever, coughing, and difficulty sleeping.
Phue’s mother took her to our medical partner’s care center, where Phue received antibiotics. On January 18, Phue will undergo a CT scan. This procedure will allow her doctors to make a diagnosis and develop a treatment plan. Our medical partner is requesting $414 to cover the expenses of the test.
“Even though we do not have enough money, our priority now is to take care of her health problem,” says Phue’s mother. “We don’t want her to become disabled. We are so worried about her, but we cannot do anything by ourselves as we do not have money.”
