COVID restrictions have made it harder to connect with refugees held in detention. Last week we were able to post bail for a 25 year old mom and her 5 year old son - being held together in a detention center north of the city. The road is hard and we celebrate their freedom!

It's estimated that there are 20,000 people sick with COVID waiting for a hospital bed in Bangkok. Community groups, families, and NGO's are all working to get oxygen to people that can't yet access a hospital. As the demand for oxygen rises, so does the cost. We were talking with founders of a local NGO who locked-in a much lower price before this change in cost and this week we bought 5 tanks through them to be used in a slum community.

Today we took supplies, diapers, formula, and toys and clothes from our home, to a group that works with children - many of them orphans. Vulnerable communities are feeling the impacts of COVID deeply and we are praying that those on the margins are remembered by many.

The city relies on manual labour for the ever-changing Bangkok skyline. These workers live in dormitories or camps, often at the construction site, with their families. Last month a few workers tested positive for COVID and so officials sealed all of the workers into these camps using barbed wire. There are hundreds of camps across the city. There are mixed reports about how many supplies are being sent into these camps. There are kids in there and so we are shopping for food and treats specifically for kids.

Khlong Toei, one of the city’s largest slums, is buckling under the burden of COVID. With high density living and a lack of resources, people are dying. Rather than reinvent the wheel, we partnered with a local NGO with connections in this community and helped to provide needed essentials. Pray for the communities wrestling with this wave of COVID.
