Help Somphong survive after heart attack

Donation protected
Our beloved uncle and father, Somphong Pongdee, suffered a massive heart attack on September 2, 2021 which deprived his brain of oxygen for 30 minutes and left him in a coma for 2 weeks. He is 51 years old and was not expected to survive. Almost miraculously, Somphong has presented more and more neurological responses since that time. As he emerged from his coma, he was totally paralyzed. Currently, he can move his eyes and hands, but most of these movements are involuntary. Since he cannot feed himself or swallow, doctors have installed the feeding tube is through his nose and the hole in his neck is to breathe air. 

He has two children, but one is not in the picture and the burden for the remaining daughter is too much. We are unable to work to support our house, bills, and take care of Somphong at the same time. Additionally, we cannot afford to pay for his medication, medical aides, diapers and feeding machine for very long. His expenses are around $600.00/month and without his income we cannot pay it. The family is at a point of desperation.

He is a good person who always supported his family and he was also paying for a house and 2 cars every month. As a self-employed contractor in construction, Somphong did not have the benefit of an insurance package to cover this kind of eventuality. Now, one car has gone back to the bank and his wife is trying to hold onto the house and remaining car.

Somphong Pongdee lives in Chonburi Province in Thailand. Any contributions made will go directly to his living expenses and any surplus will be donated for equivalent purposes to another person in need. Thank you for your generous support.
