Coming to a small house in an alley in Hamlet 5, Phuoc Hau ward, we met Nguyen Thi Kim Huong (born in 1965) who was thin and weak, sitting quietly in front of the porch. A simple, degraded charity house is where the elderly and weak mother and child rely on day-to-day sickness and poverty.
Ms. Huong said that her family is currently a near-poor household, living in a charity house that was supported to be built many years ago.
Having swollen joints, severe pain for a long time, unable to walk, only buy medicine to relieve pain. On the occasion of the Lunar New Year 2023, a serious illness reached the hospital, and the doctor said he had stage 5 kidney failure.
In addition to dialysis 3 times a week, she also suffered from cirrhosis and gastroesophageal reflux. Now her health is exhausted, she can no longer do anything, just worrying about her nearly 80 year old mother at home.
"I used to sell vermicelli in front of my house, and my mother and I made a living from it. When he was healthy, he went to the market, cooked, and roasted well. This house was supported to be built when I was a poor household. I have escaped poverty in the past, but last year my illness became serious and I could no longer do business, so the locality considered giving me a near-poor household," Ms. Huong shared.
Ms. Tam Lien, a neighbor, said: "Ms. Huong is hardworking, waking up early every morning to cook vermicelli to sell. The villagers are also kind and often come to support, especially on rainy days with few visitors. Now she is seriously ill and can no longer be sold, I feel very sorry for her.
Mr. Pham Van Mit - Secretary, Head of Hamlet 5 - confirmed that Ms. Huong's family is currently near-poor. The circumstances were very difficult, she was no longer able to work, living with her elderly mother without a place to rest.
"The cost of treatment and daily living is beyond the family's ability. The locality hopes that philanthropists and the community will join hands to support them to overcome this difficult period, Mr. Mit added.
