Father struggles to take care of ill son and wife

A man in HCM City is in desperate need of financial support to help cover medical treatment for his wife and their small son.

  

Han and his son

30-year-old Bui Thanh Han said they were told to abort the second child because of birth defect two years ago. "But we didn't have the heart to end his life. Our son, Y Binh An, was not as healthy as other children upon birth. He gets sick often and goes to the hospital every week," Han said.

His son was diagnosed with meningocele, a birth defect where there is a sac protruding from the spinal column, and had an operation in late 2017. Meanwhile, Han's wife, H'Linh Eban, has Thalassemia and her condition is worsening.

Both of them do not dare to eat and have to work hard to pay hospital charges. As a result, Eban was exhausted and admitted to HCM City's Cho Ray Hospital.

Dr. Lai Thi Thanh Thao said, "She had respiratory failure and a blood infection upon being admitted. It can cause damage to the pancreas or iron overload."

Han said he was adopted and didn't know who his biological parents are. His adopted parents were poor and died early. He was only able to make an ID card when he was 20. His wife is from E De ethnic minority group. She couldn't go to school and is illiterate. After getting married, they were both employed by a timber company and were able to support the family. However, when Eban was ill, they have to send their oldest son to live with the grandparents.

After his youngest son and wife fell ill, Han had to take a leave of absence to take care of them. "But I haven't gone to work for over a year. I don't know if the company still wants me or not," he said.

For the past months, they don't have any income to pay rent while Eban's treatment costs VND3m a day and may last for three weeks. Unable to afford a babysitter, An also goes to the hospital while Han takes care of his wife.
