Mr. Nguyen Dang Tho, born in 1998 (permanently residing in Dang 1 area, Cam Khe commune, Phu Tho province) is in dire straits because his family has continuously encountered disasters.
Mr. Tho's father is Mr. Nguyen Dang Thang, born in 1974, congenitally deaf and mute, losing his ability to communicate and work from a young age. Mr. Thang's life when he was young was dependent on his family, growing up relying on his wife and children... Currently, Mr. Thang is enjoying a social protection regime for people with disabilities of 750,000 VND/month.
Mr. Tho's mother, Ms. Tran Kim Anh, born in 1973, was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2019.
According to Mr. Tho, before getting sick, his mother worked hard in the fields to take care of the family of 4 mouths to feed. Since Mrs. Kim Anh got sick, there has been no one to take care of the fields and gardens, and the family, which was originally a poor household, is even more miserable.
Mr. Tho himself is a demobilized soldier, then worked as a freelancer to have more money to support his parents. Mr. Tho's younger sister is married and has 2 young children, so she can hardly help...
Currently, my mother has severe hypothyroidism with dangerous complications. In the past time, my mother has had to be hospitalized for treatment many times, has undergone pericardial suction surgery due to pericardial effusion, and was diagnosed with cerebral blood vessel obstruction, collapse of one lung, exhausted health... She often has difficulty breathing, coma, has to take long-term medication and is being treated in emergency at Hanoi Medical University Hospital," Mr. Tho said sadly.
According to Mr. Tho, the cost of surgery, bed costs, medicine, travel and treatment care has exceeded the family's economic capacity. At peak times, one day the treatment cost Ms. Kim Anh up to 25 million VND. Meanwhile, due to not participating in health insurance, the family has to worry about all expenses for treatment.
I have borrowed everywhere, asked relatives for more than 100 million VND to take care of my mother. But with the current situation, that amount of money is just like a drop in the ocean...", Mr. Tho said with tears in his eyes.
These days, Mr. Tho is on duty to look after Mrs. Kim Anh in Hanoi, while in his hometown, his father has to ask his paternal grandparents and uncles to take care of him.
Talking to Lao Dong reporters, Mr. Nguyen Van Binh - Head of Dang 1 area, Cam Khe commune, Phu Tho province said that Mr. Thang and Ms. Kim Anh's family were originally poor households in the village. Before getting sick, Ms. Kim Anh farmed to take care of her family. Since Ms. Kim Anh suffered from a serious illness, her family's already difficult situation has become even more impoverished.
We really hope philanthropists will help so that Tho has more money to take care of his mother. The situation is different everywhere, Mr. Thang must have someone to look after him when his wife and children are in the hospital, it's very heartbreaking...", Mr. Binh said.
