After the beauty queen and TV host Boon Panadda Wongpudi faced a donation drama involving the Doing Good Foundation, becoming a major case under social scrutiny amid numerous rumors about the foundation's financial accounts, especially the rumor of 800 million baht being withdrawn for personal use.
Recently, country singer Candy Rakkarn one of Boon Panadda's juniors who loves and respects her, posted a heartfelt message after seeing the news about Boon. She said, “It hurt inside since the 2011 flood, which was the first time I immediately helped those affected in my home area because I understood their hardship. I remember going out with Sompong Nakhon Thaisong as a lead singer... That made me feel valuable and want to do more for society but didn’t know where to start.
Until I met Mae Boon, who gathered us under the name 'Actors Doing Good.' We started from there, slowly coming together and helping case by case until our group grew and became known as the #DoingGoodFoundation. It became a space where we could fully volunteer.
Besides being part of Ruam Katanyu, I initially went out with Mae Boon often while I was still energetic. Later, I turned to selling goods, and every purchase was donated to the Doing Good Foundation. The total must be in the millions. Seeing everyone’s efforts in the field makes me feel it’s worth it, and I never regret working hard to send money continuously to the foundation.
Today, with the big news everyone is watching, honestly, I’ve had migraines for three consecutive days, just hoping Mae Boon can clear her name.
Regarding wrongdoing, I won’t side with it, but if you ask if I’m still by her side, I will always stand by Mae Boon. Throughout all my own troubles, she has always stood by me, helping and encouraging me. Whatever the verdict, if she’s guilty, so be it; karma will take its course, even though I’m a bit shocked.
Previously, many elders warned not to speak out too strongly as there are many hidden details. I trust their good intentions, but I still want to support Mae as her daughter.
I want Mae to know that I still love and respect her deeply. I will never forget that Mae Boon is my inspiration for doing good for society and the one who lifted me when I was down. Boon Panadda, I hope you get through this with a strong heart.”
