It all began with a drawing. On April 6th, I met Granny Thuy at the Night Market in Koh Phangan. Captured by her warmth and resilience, I sketched her portrait and shared her story on Instagram. The reel went viral, reaching millions of hearts around the world.
The reel received around 20K positive comments. Many of you were concerned about her still working at this age. A week later I returned to the market and found granny. I learned that Granny was burdened by debt and struggling to keep a roof over her head. Moved by her story, I launched a fundraising campaign, and also offered original artwork and prints to raise funds for Granny.
With your generous support, we raised around 15000$
This allowed us to: • Cover Granny's rent and debts. • Provide medical care and support. • Buy her new clothes, furniture, and electronics. • Renovate her home, creating a safe and comfortable space. • Set a monthly allowance for her (12000 baht/month)
