Hello my name is David. I'm 65 years old & last September moved to Thailand with my life savings & a small monthly pension. I had a budget for my spending to last me until my state pension begins in April 2026. Unfortunately December 2025 I fell ill with Deep vein thrombosis. I was treated in Bangkok and had to pay for all my treatment & medication. I didn't have any medical insurance. Big lesson learnt. My savings have now dwindled away on all the treatment & my only income is my pension which will just about keep me surviving in accommodation & food. My surgery is due to be performed on the 27th May 2025. So I haven't got much time. I cannot fly back to the UK with DVT as its not recommended & would cost far more in expenses than having the treatment performed here. Please could you help in anyway. I would totally be in your gratitude if possible. Thank you for reading. As you can see I wrote this back in May but was too embarrassed to post it. My situation is now worse as I still haven't received the surgery. I've tried the UK embassy Gov.com for assistance with early claims on state pension due to illness with no joy. I've paid into the system for over 40 years & now can't receive help when I'm desperate for it. The surgeon has told me I will lose my little toe, foot, leg then I will die if not treated. Again thank you for reading & if possible please donate no matter how little it will hopefully help. Please share this post to broaden the impact. Thank you
