Not leaving anyone behind in the middle of the night
The SOS Bao Loc team gathers dozens of volunteers in wards of Bao Loc City (old).
In addition to emergency and rescue activities, the night coordination team regularly roams to be present in time on many roads to support people encountering traffic incidents.
At about 8:45 pm, when we contacted Ms. Nguyen Thi Hong Lan - a member of the night rescue team, the other end of the line quickly rang out: "SOS Bao Loc, please listen". Before we could exchange much, Ms. Lan immediately asked about the location of the damaged vehicle to coordinate support.
After knowing that we were learning about the group's activities, Ms. Lan humbly said: "We only work together to help people who encounter problems so that no one is left behind in the middle of the night.
While chatting, Ms. Lan suddenly shouted to everyone: "There is a case on Phan Chu Trinh street where the tube is punctured and needs support. Let's go right away." Saying that, she asked for permission to turn off the phone to go.
According to Ms. Pham Kieu Diem My - Team Leader of SOS Bao Loc Team, the night coordination team currently has more than 20 volunteers participating, the oldest being 70 and the youngest being 18 years old.
“Whether the road is far, dark or rainy, as soon as they receive a call, members bring tools on the road to support free motorbike repair for people. Most cases are motorbikes encountering problems such as tire puncture, running out of gas, chain breakage... in the middle of the road at night,” Ms. My shared.
While repairing a tire for a resident going spring outing, Mr. Dang Ngoc Tuan (70 years old) - a volunteer of the team - said that operating expenses are contributed by the members themselves, from tire repair tools, air pumps to uniforms.
After each support, just a smile or a nod of thanks is enough to warm our hearts," Mr. Tuan shared.
To make spring trips complete
According to Ms. Diem My, from December 2024 to 9:00 PM on February 19, 2026, the night coordination team of SOS Bao Loc Team provided free support to 251 cases of damaged motorbikes along the road.
From the night of the 29th to the 3rd day of the Binh Ngo Lunar New Year 2026, the whole team has supported 34 cases, mostly people and tourists traveling in spring who encountered incidents such as chain breakage, tube puncture, running out of gasoline, running out of oil at night," Ms. My said.
Mr. Ly Nhat Truong - member of SOS Bao Loc Team - shared: "As long as I have time, I will continue to work. Helping people in difficult times, I find my work very meaningful.
Mr. Nguyen Hong Quan (Dong Nai) said that on the evening of the 3rd day of Tet, on the way to Da Lat for spring travel, his car suddenly stalled due to running out of oil. After calling the phone number of the SOS Bao Loc Team, about 10 minutes later, volunteers were present to support.
I sent money but the brothers and sisters did not accept it. Thanks to timely support, my trip was not interrupted. Sincerely thank you very much SOS Bao Loc brothers and sisters," Mr. Quan expressed.
Similarly, Ms. Nguyen Thi Quynh Chi (Da Huoai 2 commune, Lam Dong), on the evening of the 2nd day of Tet, her car had a punctured tire near Bao Loc Pass.
After the call for help, volunteers quickly came to repair the tire for free so she could continue her journey.
In the middle of the night, encountering an incident in the middle of the road and someone coming to help in time made me very touched," Ms. Chi said.
The silent actions of the members of the SOS Bao Loc Team not only provide timely support for passersby, but also spread the spirit of sharing and responsibility for the community in the first days of the new year. Thereby, contributing to making each spring trip more complete and peaceful.
