An 80-year-old woman with Alzheimer's disease has been left on her own for years at a market in Samut Prakan province, a Facebook user has revealed, struggling to stay alive on scraps of food and small donations which are frequently stolen from her at night.
The elderly lady who calls herself Lek was seen by the Facebook user, Lord Clips, living behind the Samrong market in Muang Samut Prakan district. On Thursday she was found sitting on a pile of scraps and bottles she had collected to raise some money. She appeared unclean and had some coins tied to her shirt with a rubber band.
