In a drug-fueled rage, a young man burned down the house of his 86-year-old great-grandmother, leaving her, his mother, and three girls homeless.

Currently, the five women live together in a makeshift shelter that they built beside Chaiyaphum-Si Khiu Road in the village of Ban Khok Phaeng Phuai in Chaiyaphum Province. In addition to raising ducks, they sell eggs from their flock for a small income.
