260case

Diapers for elder bed-bound patients.More than 200 bed bound patients under care of the Volunteer Service are elder people. They are living under such a soul-destroying condition. Not only that they are immobile but the cost of medical care is too high for them to afford.

Social issues

The volunteer project by the Shadow Mirror Foundation focuses on visiting and supporting the elderly, patients, people with disabilities, and low-income families. Started in 2011, the project expanded its efforts during the nationwide floods. Operating in the Bangkok metropolitan area, the project provides essential items such as adult diapers, medical supplies, and various consumer goods like rice, milk, snacks, porridge, dried food, and household items.

Currently, the project delivers monthly aid packages to 260 cases, including 10 kilograms of rice per family, along with dry food sets. The "Bag of Encouragement" initiative not only includes consumer goods but also essentials like mattresses, pillows, and mosquito nets.

The benefits of the project include:

  1. Community Sharing: Sharing essential consumer goods with those in need.
  2. Emotional Support: Providing encouragement and support through visits to patients, the elderly, and people with disabilities in the community.
  3. Financial Relief: Reducing the financial burden on low-income families by supplying essential consumer goods.
  4. Community Engagement: Creating opportunities for community involvement in volunteer and elderly activities.
  5. Anticipated Outcomes: Improved well-being and happiness for the elderly, people with disabilities, and their families. Establishing collaborative networks within elderly care homes and communities for future assistance and quality of life development.

In summary, the "Bag of Encouragement" project has become crucial in providing monthly support and reducing household expenses for the targeted groups, contributing to the well-being and collaboration within the community.

Approaches to addressing issues

  1. Home visits to patients: Volunteers will go to homes to chat and provide encouragement.

  2. Provide essential items such as adult diapers, medical equipment, and various consumer goods to reduce the financial burden within families.

  3. Organize recreational activities featuring singing, karaoke, and provide snacks and water to the elderly residents at the Chor Chor Bangkhen Care Home for Men, creating an enjoyable atmosphere.

Operational Plan

  1. Visiting Patients at Home: The volunteer team will go directly to the homes of patients to engage in conversations, provide emotional support, and deliver essential items. This includes adult diapers, medical supplies, and various consumer goods, aiming to alleviate the financial burden on the families. The team's efforts are focused on reducing household expenses and offering encouragement to individuals in need.
