Background
John’s wife, Duangruthai (Duang), remains in Thailand, where she devotes herself full-time to caring for their autistic daughter, Kasia, and her own sister, who is also facing serious medical challenges.
Kasia, now in her mid-20s, has lived with a brain tumor since the age of 18 and suffers from frequent epileptic seizures. Surgery remains a risky option, with only a 50/50 chance of success, and her condition continues to worsen. She urgently requires ongoing medication and specialized care, but without a stable income, the family is struggling to afford her treatments.
Despite the overwhelming circumstances, Duang continues to provide care with love, strength, and unwavering dedication. But the financial burden is heavy, and the family is in urgent need of support.
We are seeking to raise $25,000 to support Duang and her family for one year. These funds will help cover:
- Medication and ongoing treatment for Kasia’s epilepsy and Autism.
- Basic living costs such as food, utilities, and transportation.
- Modest housing expenses.
- Medical care for Dow, Duang’s sister, who also suffers from Thyroid Cancer and is deaf.
- Emergency and contingency needs for the household.
If you would like to help them during this incredibly difficult time, donations can be made via this website ( 'Contribute' button).
John’s greatest wish was to care for his family. Now, in his memory, we can help carry that wish forward.
Please consider donating to help Duang, Kasia, and Dow through this incredibly difficult time. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings hope, comfort, and real support to a family that gave — and lost — so much.
