Thanh Hoa orphaned sisters call for help
  • | dtinews.vn | June 16, 2021 02:15 PM
Three sisters in Thanh Hoa Province are in need of financial support for treatment after their parents died.

  

Hoang Thi Hang (R) and her sister


Lang Thi Sao and Hoang Van Ket had three children together. Kiet's health deteriorated but because of poverty, he didn't want to go to the hospital. Kiet was shocked when he was diagnosed with AIDS. He said he didn't know how he had the disease. He died one month after the diagnosis.

Sao and their youngest daughter, who is only 10 years old, also had AIDS. When Sao died in 2020, the family didn't have any money so Sao's cousins, Hoang Van Do, had to borrow money everywhere to hold a funeral for her.

Their eldest daughter, 18-year-old Hoang Thi Hang shoulders everything and looks after her sisters after the deaths of their parents. They are given a monthly allowance of VND450,000 (USD20) for orphaned children but they have to spend VND700,000 a month to buy medicines.

"We are all poor here so we can't help them much," Nhat, Hang's neighbour said. "We often give them vegetables and rice. Hang also works part-time on the fields for some money."

"Sometimes I felt like I might break down but I still have my sisters," Hang said. "My youngest sister is struggling against the illness. She often coughs and cries when the weather changes. One of my sisters will learn Judo and I will go to college this year so I'm worried that there will be no one at home to take care of my youngest sister every day."

Hang said she wanted to go to Hanoi National University of Education but has instead opted for the Primary Education Department at Hong Duc University in Thanh Hoa instead to look after her sister.

Do Viet Phuc, head of Truc Chuan 2 Village, said, "Hang's family is a difficult case in our area. We also called for help for them but it's not enough."
