Another new wheelchair for Fah Sai

Posted by: Debs

At a recent visit to the Camillian Home in Lat Krabang for kids living with HIV and disabilities, we visited Fahsai, who is the little girl that was abandoned and has been afflicted with palsy since she was an infant. We discovered that her wheelchair needed repairing and offered to fix it. When we took it to the shop in Sri Racha, they said it could be fixed, but it was going to involve fabricating a part, which was going to take some time. So, in the meantime, we decided to buy her a new one; after all once the ‘old’ one is repaired, it can be used as back up or for another child.

Here is Fahsai in her new wheelchair thanking all of you with a big ‘wai’.


 


Fah Sai, our 3-year old girl with cerebral palsy, who had been abandoned by her parents, has now found a new loving home to cater to her needs and disability.

Pai, director of the Hand to Hand Foundation, who initially rescued her from a perilous environment, became her primary care-giver bringing her to their center during the day and to her home at night. Still Fah Sai needed professional care and daily physical therapy.

As of last Saturday, March 24th, we finally moved her in to the Camillian Home in Lat Krabang, where she  is now resident and will continue to get 24/7 loving care.



 

You may remember Fah Sai from a previous post, she is being taken care of at Hand to Hand currently and suffers from cerebral palsy.

Her father died, her mother is in jail and never tries to contact her. Fah Sai was neglected when she was young left lying on the floor most of the time and never given any chance for physical activity to strengthen her limbs. Now that she is being cared for and getting physical therapy, she is gradually getting some use of her legs.

We agreed to buy her a wheelchair, which as you can see she is very happy with. We also have some good news regards a new more permanent home for her. Camillian Home have agreed to give Fah Sai the care and attention she needs to grow into a strong and independent little girl. There is a lot of red tape to get through due to her background but we are getting there.
