Changes wlthln resldential chlldren-_ One Child wag In an adoptlon process through the government and thls was completed In October 2022. We continue to approach the local Social welfare OTphanage to ask if there are any children there wlth speclal needs who they would like u5 to consideT. Hope Horne has had prevlous adoptlons completed over the last 13 year5, and are pleased that there is maintained appropriate contsct wlth nearly all the famille5. We are a150 hopin8 to approach alternative 5yStems so that more of our children can be considered for adoptlon but as yet we are no further forwaTds but thus far we have not made much pro8ress. As COVID numbers here settled, and restrlctlons largely dropped, Hope Home resumed vlsits to theThal

In the earsy part of 2023 one child came home from hospitsl requlrlng long term home ventllator care, altsngside the care of many years with oxygen therapy, suctionln& nebullzSn& tube feeding and tracheotomy care. Since the latest change she is thrlvin8 and has stayed remarkably well. Throughout 2024 and into 2025. The staff have been excellent at learnlng yet more skills.

The hospltal support, extended to her still as a chlld rather than moving her up to the adult services a$ She should, 15 excèllent. The chllilren who would normally have been at school were very stressed, especially in the last year of livlng with COVID and schools closeil. It was a relief that the school opened, and as we had hoped some of the new behavioural issues ease(l as a result of a retum to normality for them. One of the chlldren reached a polnt of increased problems and he has now adapted well to medication to help him settle. He Is also benefitting from Increased opportunities of speech and behavioural therapies provided by the government centre for development, and we are seeing progress in all aspects thankfully. HIS progress Is generally contlnulng well. The chlldren receivlng physiotherapy at home are generally doing well, though we have welcomed the resuming of theraple5 at the government ontfes and learnln8 new skills from the professionals. We are especlally happy to learn frtsm them how to best care for our newest child wlth a TBI and re5ultlng heml-plegla so that we can help him the best way possible. We transferred hospitals, stlll withln the 80vernment scheme, and he has had one further head surgery su¢ces5fully* and his minor surgery also went well. We praise God for excellent provision of care, and for rnlraculous progress in this young child, above all human expectations. He continues to amaze us and is quite literally a walkin8 miraclel One of our glrls has unresolved epilepsyi desplte multiple medicatlon5.

HOPE HOME ITHAILAND} UK Respite chlldren.community support: Hope Home alms not only to provlde resldentlal care to those who have no famlly or thelr famlly has relinquished them to the care of the stste, but to 5UPPOrt families in ¢ornmunlty so that they do not reach the need to glve up their chlldren. Our communlty contacts come through the CCT themselve5, such as the SDSUI CAM unlt, through other organi2atlonal Ilnks, through local church and by word of mouth. We, Sn a non COVID world welcorned families into the home for training and hands on teachlng In PTIOT care as well 35 providlng famllle5 With a break and we are hoping thls wlll resume for at least two families in the new Year. One child attends 6 day5 a week in the day so her mum can work- and now sth001s are open we will continue to help wlth taklng her to and from school too, as before. Her mum is a single murn wlth a younger chlld too to care for. Without the support of Hope Home, desplte the Immense love She has for her chlld, she may well have looked to givin8 her up to care. Hope Home has been able to care for thls gSrl for periods of 3-5 days too whllst her mum returned to the Thallmyanmar border to tondurt essential paperwork and again, it is a privilege to do so. Thls Is the same chlld who sadly has developed severe obesity in the last year, and l am currentiy worklng wlth her mum and the doctors on dletlexerclse approache5 to prevent further problems. At this tlme thls mother h35 lust had motorcycle accident ond will be non walklng for several weeks. Hope Home has helped with resplte care for the glfl, and now we are seeking ways to keep the famlly safe tO8ether, and support the mum flnancially whilst she will be unable to work. There are other children In community who we support throu8h practical monthly glvlng of milk. nappies, medlcal support and during COVID, e55entlal food Items too for the famlly. Thls support helps the families feel connected, and able to cope, and again, we trust keeps famllles together. Currently we are supportlng at least 10 families t9 some extent, an¢J would like to see th15 side of the ministry expand and grow, and Improve on networking and linkln8 people together rnore. One contact last year via the Thai church is of 3 chlld with special needs known to them and they are helplng the famlly by provldlng the mum wlth a hands-on care support worker in the week, and Hope Howne is helping wlth advlce and supplies for the family. Thlsls a relreshlng way to Ilnk together to help famllles stay together. Sadly for this family tragedy struck and the child died unexpectedty from a seizuTe. The same thurch contacts. undeterred by this, have linked us wlth another child now who we are also supporting in a similar way. Sadty this chlld too died unexpectedly followlng an accldent at home. We continue to keep contact wlth the family vla our Social Worker. Also the loeal government orphanage spoke to us about a child with profound developmental and health needs who the family trled to leave at the orphanage. The social workers there are focused on keep5ng famlly together, so they are helping them practlcally and
HOPE HOME ITHAILAND} UK financially, and have linked us up with them so we too can help support keeping family together. Thls Is a refreshlng new approach by the Social welfare system and a reflectlon on the new leadership there. We are excited to see just how much more we can partner together in this way. We are a recognized Christian home and It15 8ood that the social welfare department is happy to work alongside us in this way. We trua that Chrlsvs love can shlne through In our approach. We are also Ilnklng wlth other soclal supptsrt agencies who meet children with speclal needs In thelr contacts, and flnding ways to partner together to support famllles, each organization contributinB from their own skill set, but tOBether providlng best practice support. In the latter end of December of 2023 we were also approached by the Social Welfare department to take on temporary care for a severely dlsabled young lady whllst her mothw, her rnain care-giver, recuperates from major surgery. She has settled well and her sltuatlon wlll be revlewed on a monthly basls. It is a privllege to support families in this way, and we are approached by the department to help many people from childhood to young adults. Those we cannot accept due to lack of space or sufflcient stafflng we try to find ways to help In community. This is a bi8 need in Thai society that requlres addresslng from wlthln the Thal Soclal Welfare setting ideally. We offered care for thls young lady for almost 6 month5 in 2024 and ave followed support In her famlly slnce returnlng home. Foster care children- 3 children are currently supported In foster care by Hope Home and live either in thevlllage complex where Hope Home Is based, or In rented accommodatlon convenient to the foster famills needs. All three are in teenage years and it is deemed approprlate tts be In a more Intlmate family setting. One of these boys had increased medical concerns thi5 last year and Is adjusting to needing to be tube fed rather than oral feedin& and he has changeable mobility needs. Hope Home Is able to be a good support for him and his foster mum. His biggest challenge now Is that he has aged out of chlld therapy services. and Is not yet belng a¢pted Into adult servlces appropriate to his needs. This is a challenge of the system unfortunatelyi but we will keep looking for all opportunlties. other teena8e boy lives With a sln8le mum who Ss now at work retirement age. This boy has severe aut15m and has struggled emotlonally and socially and behavlorally during COVID but thls had improved drastically when hls sd)ool opened In May 2022 after almost 2 years of belng closed. He and hls foster mum moved out of the village to a new area of Chlang Mai with lots of space, and a farnlly communlty for his foster mum nearby. Hope Home manaBer and nurse tried to visit him or contsrt hlm at least once a month at home or out nearby. and we contlnue to provlde monetary support to cover rent, food and travel costs, and any sd)ool COS We are grateful that this solution re501ved the escalatin8 situètion of hls behaviours betng a potential risk to the younger and more vulnerable chlldren at Hope Home. We had hoped thi5 would be a longer term solutlon for hlm but sadly and understandably hls foster mum
HOPE HOME ITHAILANDI UK has let us know she does not feel able to continue. In the absen of anotherfoster family, and with sad hearts, we, in conjunction with our Board of advlsors, and with the foster mum have reached the sa declslon to refer hlm back to the state system. He however remains in this foster care set up, but the foster mother Is coping better, and we keep a ¢lose eye on the sltuatlon. The third girl in foster cale15 pro8ressing well, but they too had moved out of the village to be nearer her siblin$ schools and her foster dad's workplace. Regular contsct is maintained and She continues to come to Hope Home for school holiday times or whenever school Is closed on occasional days. Thls famlly too has monetary support to help wlth the cost of ralsln8 a teenager. Future plans: We continue to be thankful for God'5 provislon of all our needs, through supporters and local visitors. A few years ago the land adjacent to us came up for sale, and a previous donor of Hope Home expressed the interest in purchasing the land so we could extend community provlsion. and restart the communlty play8Tound. This all fell sllent during COVID and dis¢u5sions resumed In 2023. Baan Sabaay Foundation purchased thè land usin8 the donor funding, and over thi5 time the land wlll has been made into a funttlonal community play area for able bodled and special needs to interact, and a community based facility for use such a5 tralning activities, income 8eneration projects for older spe¢l31 needs young adults. As of June 2025 Completed the development. We are incTeaslngly aware that as our children get older, their needs change and mixed age resldentlal care is not as approprlate or fun¢tlonal. Thank you for the support and Interest In the woik of Hope Home. Hope Home staff. management and of course the children express their thanks for enabling us to be a famlty here, buildlng each otheT up and strivlngto reach our highest potentials In all areas of life.
