At a house located in alley 189 Dong Khe, Gia Vien ward, Hai Phong, a reporter from Lao Dong Newspaper handed over nearly 26 million VND to the family of Mr. Hoa Xuan Chien, whose grandfather is seriously ill and his wife is raising 4 young grandchildren.
Mr. Chien is a character in the life story "LD26134: He is seriously ill in Hai Phong raising 4 young grandchildren, the whole family hopes to have money for surgery".

Not only carrying illness, Mr. Chien and his wife also shoulder the burden of raising 4 granddaughters (same mother but different father) who are of school age. The oldest is 16 years old, the youngest is only 6 years old. Among them, baby Hoa Dang Linh Dan (born in 2017) is currently attending a charity class at Hai Phong Cathedral.
The income of the whole family mainly depends on Ms. Thu. In addition to the amount of 1 million VND per month from helping at a restaurant, every day she roamed the streets picking up scrap metal, earning a few tens of thousands of VND to cover living expenses and medicine for her husband.
