According to Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Vang - head of An Do village, Ms. Hien's family has had a "tradition" of poor and near-poor households for many years. At this time, the whole village still has 3 near-poor households, Ms. Hien's family is among them.
Sharing with reporters, Mr. Dao Van Son, born in 1990 - Ms. Hien's only son - could not hide his sadness and anxiety.
Mr. Son said that his family was in a very difficult situation. His father passed away in February 2025 after a period of cervical fibrosis. A few years before, his mother - Mrs. Hien - was diagnosed with cervical cancer. "The house has no fields or gardens, no one has a stable income, it is difficult to worry about enough food, let alone money for treatment of serious illnesses," Mr. Son said chokingly.
Before the disaster hit the small family, Mrs. Hien received handmade goods for the job, earning tens of thousands of VND per day; Mr. Son worked as an advertising construction worker, working day and night; his father worked as a security guard at a school.
Since Mrs. Hien had cancer, her husband had anorexia twice as much as he was, Mr. Son went to work and had no meals because he had to take care of his parents. Not to mention, his 93-year-old grandmother also lived with her children and grandchildren, the burden was even more on his shoulders.
More miserable, due to not participating in health insurance, in the initial treatment phase, Ms. Hien had to spend a lot of money on medicine, food, accommodation, and travel. With no money at home, Mr. Son ran around to borrow from relatives, taking all the house documents to cover his mother's medical expenses. To date, the borrowed amount has been more than 150 million VND.
Mr. Son's father passed away, his mother is seriously ill, he and his wife are disabled due to traffic accidents, currently unable to work, and are hospitalized every few months for treatment. The house is crowded with people, Mr. Son himself is busy worrying about his grandmother, mother, and wife. When he was so poor, he asked his mother-in-law from Thanh Hoa to take care of his wife in the hospital, he followed her to take care of her mother in Hanoi...
Although he loves his children, both families are in difficulty, Mr. Son's mother-in-law is a worker, his father is a construction worker, so he is unable to support his children in poor circumstances.
For the past 2 months, since Mrs. Hien had a passed away from a urticaria in the abdomen, which greatly affected the digestive system and paralyzed both legs, Mr. Son could not go to work but had to take care of his mother full-time. "Up to this point, my mother has had 32 doses of radiotherapy and chemotherapy many times, although I do not hope for a miracle, I just hope that my mother will be less in pain in the remaining days, my mother's disease is so severe...", Mr. Son said tearfully.
As each day passed, Mr. Son became more tired and stressed because he had no income to take care of his relatives, and his family had no fields to cultivate.
Talking to reporters, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Vang said that Ms. Hien's family background, the people in the village outside the commune are all well aware. "The situation is not difficult but extremely difficult," said Mr. Vang.
Mr. Vang hopes that the benefactors and benefactors will care and support Mr. Son to take care of his mother in the last days of his life to avoid hardship.
