This Morning at Mo Chit - Poor great-grandmother and great-grandchild, living in hardship, eating rice mixed with fish sauce. Some days, they skip meals because they have no money to buy rice. This is a clip of a man driving and finding Nong Ice, a 9-year-old girl, sitting alone in front of her house, constantly looking at the road. So he stopped the car to ask around. It was found out that her great-grandmother had gone to the hospital since morning and had not returned in the afternoon. Nong Ice had not eaten anything yet and was very hungry, holding her stomach the whole time. Out of pity, this man gave her 120 baht and half a bag of rice, which made Nong Ice very happy. Then this man posted the clip on social media in case there were kind people who wanted to help Nong Ice. Reporters went to Nong Ice and Grandma Boonyong, aged 68, in Phanat Nikhom District, Chonburi Province. It was found out that the house where Nong Ice and her great-grandmother live relies on 1,400 baht per month from a government agency to make ends meet, but it is not enough to eat. Because she has to set aside 600 baht per month to pay for the bus fare to school for Nong Ice, some to pay for water and electricity, and the rest to save for her pocket money to go to school. Some days, Nong Ice doesn’t have money to go to school because her great-grandmother uses the money to buy rice to cook with fish sauce. Initially, Phra Khru Thawon Satthakun, the abbot of Wat Worapot Sangkhawat, brought rice, dried food, and necessities to give to her great-grandmother and Nong Ice, as well as taking Nong Ice to buy grilled chicken and fresh ingredients to cook, which made Nong Ice very happy, her face bright and smiling all the time. Anyone who wants to help can transfer money to the Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives, account number 0200-1399-7970, Ms. Bunyong Saengchan, or phone number 09-4869-1056.
