Hello, my name is Preeyapa, and today I am asking for your help with a heart full of hope. All my life, I have worked hard to take care of my family and my employees, but I forgot to take care of my health. I have only gotten 4-6 hours of sleep each night for more than ten years. Now, I need your help to cover expenses while I wait for surgery on both of my eyes. Three years ago, I was diagnosed with severe thyroid problems—hyperthyroidism. Since then, I have been visiting the hospital regularly and following my doctors’ instructions. However, despite all my efforts, my health has worsened, and I developed Graves' Disease. This has caused my eyes to bulge, keeping my eyelids open at night. I suffer from gritty and irritated eyes, puffiness, light sensitivity, dryness, pressure and pain in my eyes, and blurred and double vision. Because of this, I can no longer drive or work, and even walking is a big challenge. I am also at high risk of losing my sight. My doctors have confirmed that the only way to save my vision is through multiple surgeries. Before the surgery can happen, my hyperthyroidism must be stable, according to my doctors. Four different hospitals in Chiang Mai could not stabilize my hyperthyroidism, and my eyes are still getting bigger and hurting all the time. Because of this, I have been following all my doctors' advice at my current hospital, but I also found an alternative medical center in Bangkok. They have helped me a lot with traditional Thai and Chinese medicine and treatments to reduce pressure in my body and improve my overall condition. This combination has made my eyes less swollen and gives me a chance to stabilize my hyperthyroidism in the future. However, I must cover the costs of this alternative medicine and treatment in Bangkok by myself. After more than a year, I have spent all my savings and cannot find a job because of my health condition. That is why I am asking for your help to cover the costs of these treatments in Bangkok, including travel costs and medications for one year. This will give me the best chance to stabilize my health so that the surgery can be performed successfully. I have always taken care of my family. I cared for my mother, who had cancer, until she passed away three years ago. I still care for my 79-year-old father, who relies on me. Now, I am facing the greatest challenge of my life, and I am asking for your help to get back to work and support my family again. Every donation, no matter how small, brings me one step closer to life-saving surgery. My boyfriend covers my living costs but does not have enough money to pay for my treatment in Bangkok. Please consider supporting me during this critical time. Your kindness can make a big difference in my life and in the life of my father, who depends on me every day.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your kindness and support.
