Than is a loving grandmother from Thailand who lives with her son and grandson. In her free time, she enjoys watching YouTube videos on her phone.
Five years ago, Than began experiencing pain when frequently passing urine, accompanied by lower abdominal pain. She has been diagnosed with kidney stones, which are hard deposits of minerals that form in the kidneys and are often very painful to pass. She has been advised to undergo surgery to remove her kidney stones. If left untreated, Than’s symptoms will continue to worsen and will put her at risk for further health complications in the future.
Our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund (BCMF) is requesting $1,500 to fund Than’s kidney stone removal surgery. The procedure is scheduled to take place on December 8th.
Than shared, “I felt hopeless that I couldn’t afford the operation, considering our prolonged lack of income. Now, I have had the chance to receive surgery with the help of BCMF. I am deeply grateful. My sincere wish is for the operation to go well, and I look forward to resuming my chores after the surgery.”
