Poor husband has just finished burying his wife and used money to support a cancer patient

On November 26, just returned to Khanh Hoa after the journey to bring Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy (code LD25063) back to her hometown in Thanh Hoa according to her wish, Mr. Tran Van Thua arrived at the Lao Dong Newspaper's Permanent Office in Khanh Hoa.

He brought a simple wish: To send money from benefactors to support his wife to help Ms. Vu Thanh Thuy (Cu Thanh village, Suoi Hiep commune, Khanh Hoa, code LD25062) - a woman who has been fighting breast cancer for more than 10 years and is having to stop treatment due to financial exhaustion.

Previously, the article "poor teacher leaves before November 20, husband sells car to attend a funeral" published on November 19 in Lao Dong Newspaper touched many hearts. After only nearly 5 hours, Mr. Thua received more than 100 million VND in support from readers nationwide.

For him, the money to take care of his wife's funeral is "enough", so he would like to stop receiving it through his personal account to give support to more difficult lives after the flood.

A representative of the Golden Heart Social Charity Fund transferred 3.5 million VND to Mr. Thua sent by a reader through the Standing Office of Lao Dong Newspaper in Khanh Hoa to share with his family's situation.

However, when reading an article about Ms. Vu Thanh Thuy - who has been fighting cancer for more than 10 years in a exhausted situation - he decided to give her the support of benefactors.

I hope she doesnt miss the opportunity to get treatment, because my wife doesnt have that opportunity anymore, he said quietly.

Receiving the money from Mr. Thua and some benefactors at the Standing Office of Lao Dong Newspaper, Ms. Thuy choked up.

Receiving an additional support of nearly 5 million VND, Ms. Thuy boarded a ship to Ho Chi Minh City for a follow-up examination after more than two months of being forced to stop taking medicine because she could no longer afford to pay.

Ms. Thuy discovered breast cancer right after losing her first child and underwent 6 surgeries. The assets she had saved took turns wearing her hats away, but the couple still persevered in holding on to the bond of hope.

For more than a year, she has been treated by Ho Chi Minh City Oncology Hospital as an internist according to the regimen, bringing positive results. However, the cost of the drug is more than 20 million VND per month, not included in the insurance list.

She used to use 3 boxes of medicine/month, had to reduce it to 1 box and then stopped for the past 2 months because she could no longer borrow.
