After the article about Hien’s disease was published on Dantri/DTiNews, many readers donated a total VND120 million (USD5,217) to help her and the kidney transport was carried out in September.
Hien’s sister Dang Hoai Phuong said that she did not hesitate to give her kidney to Hien when she was in critical condition. Phuong’s husband also advocated this.
