A Family Who Arrived With Nothing but Fear
A few weeks ago, one family—let’s call them the Htway family—arrived in Mae Sot after fleeing their village in Myanmar. The father had been injured when fighting erupted near their home. The mother carried their young son for miles through the jungle, and their daughter developed a deep cough from breathing smoke and dust as they traveled.
When they reached Mae Sot, they found only a tarp-covered patch of ground near the landfill—now home to hundreds of displaced families. Their children slept on cardboard. They had no medicine, no food, and no legal status. And, like so many refugees here, they had no access to medical care.
But that’s when they met our partners from Asia Christian Services (ACS) and the first clinic You and FAME partnered to provide. They are further away from the landfill, but now there is an opportunity to add a second clinic partnering with Rapha International and ACS.
Why This Clinic Matters Right Now
The Mae Sot Landfill Community sits at the crossroads of Thailand and Myanmar, where displaced families, migrant workers, and stateless children try to survive with no clinics, no insurance, and no protection. Hundreds in this community live in extreme poverty and thousands more across the Mae Sot border region face the same crisis. The new clinic FAME is helping build will become their only safe place to receive:
• Emergency care
• First aid
• Treatment for infections and injuries
• Medicine and diagnostics
• Health education for mothers and children
• Faith-based counseling and prayer
This clinic is more than a building—it’s a lifeline.
And today, we have a challenge gift that doubles every dollar until we reach our $23,000 Giving Tuesday goal.
You can help this family—and thousands like them—find healing and hope.
Would you make your Giving Tuesday gift today and help us close the final $23,000?
This is our moment to provide care where there is none.
This is our chance to build a clinic that will serve refugees for years to come.
And today—your gift goes twice as far.
Thank you for standing with the Htway family… and with every family longing for safety and healing.
Let’s finish strong.
