🚨 We Need Your Help (And We’re Being Real About It)
Here’s the deal: we’re 500,000 THB away from becoming an official foundation. Without that legal status, we can’t accept proper donations, apply for grants, or officially help people the way we want to.
It’s frustrating, but it’s also fixable - with your help.
Where We Stand Right Now
- What we need: 500,000 THB for legal foundation registration
- What we have: 5,000 THB (hey, it’s a start!)
- What’s left: 495,000 THB
- Why it matters: We can’t really get started without this
💝 How You Can Help
🤲 Help Us Become Official
This is our biggest need right now
When we hit that 500,000 THB, we can:
- Actually register as a real Thai nonprofit
- Accept donations properly (with receipts and everything)
- Apply for grants that could fund our big dreams
- Give you tax deductions for helping us
- Work with other organizations as equals
Want to contribute?
- Bank Transfer: [We’ll add the details here]
- International Transfer: [For our friends abroad]
- Meet up: Just message Wesley directly
🧑🤝🧑 Volunteer (Coming Soon)
We’re putting this on pause until we get our legal stuff sorted
Once we’re official, we’ll need:
- People who love talking to others (community outreach)
- Medical folks who want to help part-time
- Anyone good with kids and teens
- Someone who actually enjoys paperwork (seriously!)
- Creative types for fundraising and social media
- Thai-English translators
📣 Just Talk About Us
This costs you nothing but means everything:
- Share our posts when you see them
- Tell your friends what we’re trying to do
- Know any wealthy people? Introduce us!
- Connected to Thai business owners? We’d love to meet them
- Part of other nonprofit groups? We should chat
🏢 Corporate Friends
If you run a business or know someone who does:
We need sponsors for everything - foundation costs, future building, programs, supplies, keeping the lights on. In return, your company gets to be part of something meaningful, help your community, and yes, there are tax benefits once we’re official.
Plus, your employees could volunteer with us down the road.
📞 Let’s Talk
Wesley (ฉลาม) - The Guy Behind This

- Usually in: Southern Thailand (Hat Yai for medical stuff, Koh Samui otherwise)
Thinking about a big donation? If you’re considering 15,000+ USD, Wesley would love to sit down with you over coffee and walk through the whole plan. No pressure, just an honest conversation about what we’re trying to build.
❤️ Why This Matters to Me
“After my accident, I learned what it feels like to really need help. I also learned how hard it can be to find it when you’re scared and alone. I don’t want anyone else to go through that. This center will be there for people - day or night, whoever they are, whatever they need.”
— Wesley (ฉลาม)
Without you, this stays just an idea. With you, it becomes real.
What Happens When We Hit Our Goal?
- Right away: File all the legal paperwork
- Next month or two: Wait for the government to approve us
- Month 3: Start accepting real donations with receipts
- Months 4-6: Launch the big fundraising push for our center
- Year 1: Start building
- Year 2: Open our doors for good
🎯 Thank You Levels
We want to say thanks properly:
- Wall of Fame (50,000+ THB): Your name on a plaque that will be there forever
- Mission Champions (25,000+ THB): We’ll send you an annual report on how your money helped
- Helping Hands (12,500+ THB): Personal thank you letter from Wesley
- Heart Supporters (Any amount): Our sincere gratitude
Every single baht gets us closer to helping someone who needs it.
We’re working on becoming an official Thai nonprofit foundation. Until then, we’re holding all donations safely and keeping track of everything. Once we’re official, we’ll have all the proper oversight and accountability you’d expect.
