Representatives of the Golden Heart Social Charity Fund and the Kien Giang Provincial Red Cross Society recently visited and presented donations from readers of Lao Dong Newspaper to disadvantaged people in An Bien, U Minh Thuong, and Chau Thanh districts (Kien Giang province).
In this period, readers from near and far have supported 7 situations with money, helping them gain more confidence and motivation to overcome difficulties.
The situation of Ms. Le Thi Ngoc Huyen (born in 1992), residing in Roc La hamlet, Tay Yen A commune, An Bien district, in the article "Solving single mothers fighting cancer to raise their children to study" received nearly 11 million VND. Despite the hardships and pain of cancer, the mother still tries to be both a father and a mother to take care of her son's education.
Receiving the support money, Huyen emotionally shared: I would like to thank the readers of Lao Dong Newspaper for helping me overcome the difficulties at this time. Currently, I am still being treated continuously at the hospital, trying my best to treat my child. I just hope to have a chance to stop the disease so that my children can study well and have a better future."
As for the situation of Ms. Danh Thi Ngoc Tuyet (born in 1979, residing in Quarter 2, Thu Ba Town, An Bien District, in the article "Husband is a brick carrier for raising wife and children with chronic kidney failure" received more than 12 million VND from readers. She and her daughter both suffered from a terrible illness, causing all the burdens to fall on her husband, Mr. Lam Manh.
"I myself am sick, but I use my family as motivation to overcome it, but when I learned that my eldest daughter was also sick, I felt very hurt. I just hope to have money to treat my child's illness, it will be long in the future and I will be fine," Ms. Tuyet confided.
In the same situation, Ms. Ho Ngoc Thuy (born in 1982), residing in Roc La hamlet, Tay Yen A commune, An Bien district, in the article "Wives carrying the burden of caring for their husbands who have a stroke and 4 children" also received more than 14 million VND from the help of readers of Lao Dong Newspaper. Seeing her husband sick, her children not being able to study but having to work hard to earn money early, seeing her youngest child not going to school... Ms. Thuy seems to have collapsed. The dream of this wife and mother is to have money to treat her husband, to have 2 older children learn a trade properly, and her younger children go to school, but she herself has never thought about it.
During this period, other circumstances also received support from readers: Ms. Thi Quy (born in 1957) lives in Group 3, Binh Hoa Hamlet, Minh Hoa Commune, Chau Thanh District in the article "A burning house, an old man is weak and cannot support 3 young children"; Ms. Thi Xeet lives in Quarter 3, Thu Ba Town, An Bien District in the article "A wife with heart disease often cares for her husband, children are sick and cannot eat or study"; Ms. Tran Thi Tu lives in Hoa Binh Hamlet, Vinh Hoa Commune, U Minh Thuong District in the article "A 74-year-old woman carries the burden of raising children and grandchildren"; Ms. Vo Thi Ut lives in Ba Town, An Bien District in the article "A husband carries the burden of raising a child with a rare cancer, children are sick and have cancer like children".
Accompanying the Golden Heart Fund, readers of Lao Dong Newspaper are the close support of local authorities in all places in life and the joint efforts of the Kien Giang Red Cross Society.
Ms. Bui Thuy Hao - Vice President of the Red Cross Society of Kien Giang province - said: In this joint donation, there were cases where they received support for the first time, and there were also cases where they had been helped by the Golden Heart Fund before, and now they continue to receive more. Everyone is happy because having difficult circumstances and receiving financial support has helped them overcome difficulties, stabilize their lives, and create a livelihood to earn income to take care of their families.
"We are very grateful to the golden hearts near and far, the benefactors who have paid attention to helping many people in Kien Giang. The Association, together with the locality, will always support with all their might in verifying the situation, finding information to provide accurate information about the difficulties that the real life situation is going through so that through the articles, readers can connect with the characters. Thank you to the Golden Heart Fund as well as readers of Lao Dong Newspaper for joining hands to contribute to the implementation of social security work and caring for the disadvantaged in the province," Ms. Hao shared.
