Mr. Paskon Yusomboon, Pattaya City Council Member, and President of the Rong Mai Keed Community, Khun Pui (Village Health Volunteer Soi Arunotai) had a problem: There were 10 bedridden patients who needed supplies essential to maintaining their health.
So, he reached out to the President of the VFW Auxiliary Post 9876 Pattaya D5 Thailand, Mrs. Maleefee Guarnuccio, to see if there was anything they could do.
Mrs. Guarnuccio immediately contacted Mrs. Hiang Muller, an Auxiliary Member, and Mrs. Paiiwan Oconner, and together they gathered consumer goods including rice, dried food, skin balm, and adult diapers.
The ladies then presented the food and supplies, along with 4,500 baht in cash, to the patients.
The VFW Auxiliary Post 9876 Pattaya D5 Thailand would like to thank Mr. Paskon Yusomboon, Pattaya City Council Member, and President of the Rong Mai Keed Community, Khun Pui (Village Health Volunteer Soi Arunotai) for giving them the opportunity to be a part of taking care of and helping the community.
