History
Saint Agnes
AGNES
Was only twelve year old when she was led to the altar of the pagan
goddess. Minerva in Rome to offer incense to her. But she raised her
hands to Jesus Christ and made the Sign of the Cross.
The soldiers bound her hands and feet. Her young hands were so thin
that the chains slipped from her wrists. When the judge saw that she
was not afraid of pain. he had her clothes stripped off, and she had
to stand in the street before a pagan .>>

Surraya
Surraya’s situation :
Surraya is the youngest member of a very poor family with four children.
The father is a “taxi-moto”, the mother has no
profession. They have a monthly income of Frs.
220.-
The child
suffers from cardiac problems as well as mongolism.
She has very little strength and is unable to walk or sit.She is
incapable of chewing food and can only drink
baby formula.
Surraya is under observation by the university hospital of Hat Yai,
where the doctors recommend an operation. They
maintain that an 80% cure is possible.
This was a great surprise for us, because we’d had her medical record
translated and evaluated by two doctors
in Switzerland. They confirmed that Surraya’s case ishopeless and
that she is inoperable. The only possibility
is to make her as comfortable as possible and
to give her the medicines she needs until, sadly, she
no longer responds to medication. In general, such children do
not have a long life expectancy.
We told the parents but they, understandably, cling to the prognosis of
the Thai doctors. We explained that TSF could
not finance an operation that would not result
in a cure, but we proposed to bring Surraya to Phuket for still another
medical checkup. With this additional medical
opinion they will better understand the situation.We have made an appointment for end of July and will take the family to
Phuket.
How
we help
We assist the family for the purchase
of medicines, diapers and baby formula, which
they cannot afford.
The family takes great comfort in our support, both financial and
moral. But they urgently need additional,
outside help.
How you can help
Purchase of medicines and vitamins.
Financing by TSF for transferring Surraya to the specialized
hospital for
her periodic
checkups.
Purchase of baby formula, cereal, diapers..
