Age: 11 years old
Nueve's Story
Baby Nueve (Lawla), an 11-year-old Karen girl born on September 27, 2013, lives in Pala Oo Village, Hua Hin. She faces severe congenital challenges, including a suspected brachial anomaly and cardiac septal defect.
Despite her cheerful spirit and determination, her condition requires urgent and specialized medical care. Her family, struggling financially, reached out to the Be Well Child Care Foundation for assistance.

Medical Journey

December 3, 2024: Scheduled follow-up at a tertiary hospital for CT and MRI imaging to assess the temporal bone and neck structures. The family is awaiting financial support to proceed with diagnostics.
January 3, 2025: Visited Be Well Clinic for a consultation with an advisor for further advice on the treatment plan. The session provided emotional support and critical guidance for the family.
May 2025: Her parents took her back to No Man’s Land in Myanmar, and we have not heard from them since. We hold onto hope that one day they will return safely, so we can continue working toward a better future for her. She urgently needs bypass surgery to live like other children. Without treatment, her condition could become life-threatening.

Baby Fern – Tetralogy of Fallot
Age: 4 years old
A 4-year-old Fern’s story is one of resilience in the face of overwhelming odds. Born in the Karen ethnic territory of Myanmar in January 2022, she entered a world marked by conflict and scarce healthcare. From infancy, her parents noticed her lips and nails turning purple, her energy fading quickly, and her inability to keep up with other children—early signs of a serious heart condition. With no resources, no knowledge and no legal status in Thailand, her family could not access proper care, and her fainting episodes became part of her fragile childhood. At age four, Fern was finally diagnosed at the Children’s Hospital in Bangkok with Tetralogy of Fallot, a life-threatening congenital heart defect. Stateless and uninsured, she now lives at Bilay House Orphanage in Ratchaburi, awaiting urgent surgery that could transform her future. Her journey reflects the vulnerability of children born into poverty and displacement, and the hope that collective compassion and support can give her a chance at a healthy, normal childhood.
