Working at a water project in Wiang Khamfa, Village, Chiang Rai, we met a stateless young guy. His parents have eight kids and he is the youngest. He got married and has a daughter. He and his wife made a loan to build their house.The house was expected to be a place where all family's members live together like a primitive Hmong extended family.
Unfortunately, he lost his wife some two years ago and after that he lost his mother. He was very sad, lost hope and depressed. He tried to commit suicide many times but the love of his father, brother, sisters keep him alive.
In order to earn, he left his daughter with his father and went to another province of some 650 kilometres to sell street grilled chicken to get money for building the house. It was very challenging to travel across provinces of this stateless young guy, that he had to spend some more extra money for those trips. Then the COVID19 was another challenging and made things more worse. He could not earn from his grilled chicken for many months
And at the end of September while we were completing our water tanks project, he came to see us. He traveled back home to meet us and requested us to help building his house.
After talking together, it is likely that SCF may take care of building concrete walls for the house while he and his family will take care of other parts.
During our conversation, we feel his pain and need ,it was sad and emotional.We did not committed to help building his house by words, but by hearts we will try our best to make this done.
Please feel free and let us know if you would like to be a part of this mission....building a house to be a home of stateless and in need family.
