Child Rescue Fund

Childhood Leukemia is most common in children aged 2–5 years. The main characteristic of the disease is that the bone marrow produces abnormal white blood cells to replace normal cells in the blood and bone marrow. 

Doi has been battling leukemia since he was just 3 years old. 

Doctor detected leukemia when Doi was only 3 years old, Doi was undergoing chemotherapy at the hospital for almost 2 months . “It was a difficult time that my son endured the painful side effects of the treatment, I was in great distress.” his mother said that after being discharged from the hospital. She brought her child home to continue receiving treatment, taking chemotherapy pills daily to control the leukemia and prevent its recurrence. 

Doi is now 6 years old and is still receiving cancer treatment as scheduled by doctors. The long-term treatment has resulted in high costs.  His father is a construction worker and his mother does not work because she must take care Doi closely.  The family was in dire straits and could not afford to take Doi to a distant hospital for further treatment. Traveling to the hospital required a chartered vehicle through a complex mountain pass, taking over two hours. Furthermore, there were also the relatively high costs of accommodation, food, and nutritional supplements for Doi with cancer. 

Doi is a child in Child Rescue Fund Program under the care of CCF.Doi therefore receives regular treatment according to the treatment plan once a month. Doi receives daily oral chemotherapy and protein supplements for children as recommended by the doctor to help control leukemia and prevent its recurrence. This treatment giv the child a chance to overcome the difficult times of this terrible disease.

Nitchareceived treatment for infectious yellow teeth disease. 

Yellow teeth infectionmade Nicha have toothache, difficultfood chewing and swallowing. Furthermore, her gums were bleeding constantly which resulted in her being unable to concentrate on her studies, this forced her to be frequently absent to school. Her mother took her to the Faculty of Dentistry, Chiang Mai University, for treatment. The doctor diagnosed her with infectious yellow teeth which made her teeth weaker and more fragile than normal. Therefore, she needed to receive treatment as soon as possible. 

Due to the long journey of over 230 kilometers, both mother andNitcha had to travel down a steep mountain from Mae Hong Son Province to Sop Moei Hospital. The family was poor and the mother did not have enough money to pay for transportation.There were the costs of various equipment for dental crowns which is not covered by the National Health Security Office (Gold Card) rights made it impossible for Nitcha to access treatment of yellow teeth infection as scheduled by the doctor. 

Reducing the suffering from toothache and brittleness.  

To prevent the infected tooth from spreading and to relieve the pain from tooth decay.CCF had provided her expenses of travel, accommodation, and dental crown treatment costs that are not covered by the National Health Security Office. Initially, the doctor polished and placed temporary crowns on her four teeth to reduce toothache and tooth sensitivity. In the future, when her body stops growing up, the doctor recommends that the mother should bring Nitcha to have all teeth polished and placed. And the mother should take her to see a doctor to continuously monitor symptoms at the hospital quarterly.

Nitcha says “I would like to thank all who have helped me so much. Now I have less toothache and can eat more easily.”
