Her selfless act has garnered widespread admiration across social media.

Declared brain-dead after accident

According to Khaosod, the accident occurred on 8 Nov, just 7km from her home.

After being rushed to the hospital, doctors determined that Ying was brain-dead.

Her parents then made the difficult decision to donate her organs, honouring her life by helping others live.

Girl worked hard to support family

Ying’s family shared that she held big dreams of making merit, a significant part of Thai Buddhist culture, with the hope that her kindness would bring positive karma.

Before her death, she had joked about wanting to make enough merit to be reborn even more beautiful in her next life.

She worked as a waitress at local restaurants, serving food and washing dishes to contribute financially.

In recognition of her selflessness, Khaosod reported that her school and community have come together to support her family.
