Hi everyone, my name is Natasha Van Es. I am the daughter of two loving people, Naphaporn and Hugh Van Es.

We recently lost my dad, the heart of our family, the one who held everything together. He was not only our provider, but my mum's best friend and soulmate for over 30 years. Losing him has completely changed our lives and my mum is now facing this world without the person she's loved every single day for decades. My Dad also wrote books, including "Hell in Paradise", "Thailand Tales" and "Organizational Transformation" and one of my biggest goals is to continue his legacy and keep his work and memory alive.

My Mum has been a stay-at-home mum her whole life, always putting our family first. Now, she's left not only grieving the love of her life but also worrying about how she will manage day by day. She is also living with SLE (Lupus), which leaves her physically weak and often unwell. The thought of her having to work through her illness just to survive is something my brother and I are trying our best to prevent.

I'm starting this fundraiser because I want to give her some peace, so she can focus on healing, grieving and simply getting through each day without the constant stress of bills and financial pressure. At the same time, I hope to honor my Dad by continuing the legacy he left behind. I want to make him proud.

Every donation, no matter how small, will go towards helping with rent, bills and basic living expenses. If you're unable to donate, sharing this would truly mean the world to us. I will make a list down below with all the bills we need to pay ☺️

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for any kindness you can give. May my Dad Rest in Peace
