As I reflected on my life journey for the last 50 years, I am truly blessed to have such great parents who nourished me physically and spiritually. I am also grateful to be surrounded by such great friends who love me dearly and always support me in everything I do. 

For my 50th birthday, I would like to dedicate this fundraising effort to raise $5,000 to sponsor 50 meals for the children in the Pattaya Orphanage. One meal costs $100, and it provides for about 70 children. I am inviting you to join me to sponsor one or more meals for the children of the Pattaya Orphanage. You can decide the date for the meal and the occasion — for example, your birthday or anniversary or your friends and family special events.

The children at the Pattaya Orphanage are near and dear to my heart. I could not express my feelings in words on how appreciative I am for your continued support. It brings me joy and warms my heart knowing that those children are well cared for. Thank you for joining me in this effort and helping to put a smile on their faces and help make a difference in their lives.

With love,

Saowanee
