Summary: After my wife suffered a stroke last year, our lives changed overnight.
What was once a stable family life suddenly became uncertain — physically, emotionally, and financially.
We are now doing everything we can to secure a safe and stable place to live during her recovery.
Even a small contribution — $5 or $10 — can make a real difference for our family right now.
Our Story: My name is Stef Grandgi. I am Swiss and live in Thailand with my wife and our two Swiss-Thai children.
Last year, my wife suffered a stroke. She is recovering, but her mobility and speech remain fragile. Stress is dangerous for her health.
Recently, we learned we must leave our current home due to circumstances beyond our control. Legal matters take time, but we must secure a safe place to live now.
Our Plan: In our rural area, rental options are extremely limited and often unsuitable for someone recovering from a stroke.
The most realistic solution is to create a modest, single-level home on nearby family land. This would provide a stable, accessible space and long-term security for our family.
How the Funds Will Be Used:
- Temporary relocation and storage while we transition out of our current home.
- Basic construction costs for a modest single-story house on family land.
- Essential building materials such as cement, sand, steel and roofing.
- Accessibility features to ensure a safe living environment for my wife's recovery.
Even $5 or $10 can truly help us move forward. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us move closer to a safe and stable place to live.
Many people think small donations don’t matter — but for us, they truly do.
Examples:
- CHF 10 helps purchase basic materials such as sand or small supplies.
- CHF 50 helps purchase essential materials such as cement.
- CHF 250 contributes to structural materials.
- CHF 500 supports accessibility adaptations.
- CHF 1,000 helps cover foundational labor and construction work
Thank you for supporting our family — whether through a donation or simply by sharing our story.
With gratitude,
Stef Grandgi
Organizer
