Tuptim is a 7 month old baby girl born and raised in Phuket Thailand. The average adult Thai earns 6 to 8000 baht per month which is approx ($250). Tup Tim’s father Nai works at Tiger Muay Thai, the largest Muay Thai gym in Thailand for foreigners, so luckily Tup Tim has had exposure to foreign help by generous tourists who have heard her story.

Sadly earlier this year Nai. a much loved icon in the community lost his mother during an operation. He now faces losing his baby girl.

Unfortunately over Asia young children with terminal illnesses are not so lucky and if their families cannot afford medical bills, children do not receive medical help leaving their families helpless. Although horrific, without treatment for terminal illnesses, parents have no choice but to watch their bundle of joy die. Tup Tim’s family is facing this heartbreaking ultimatum now. They have 4 weeks to come up with 1.5 million baht ($50 000) or they will watch their baby girls life fade away. We are calling on all the help we can get to save this young girls life.

Tuptim needs parental donor liver transplant surgery which means operating on both mother and child, removing a piece of the mothers liver and transplanting it into the baby’s body to grow into a fully functional liver. Tub Tim will need continued medication post op so we need everyone to get onboard as her life is now in our hands.
