Dak Lak man dreams of electric wheelchair
A man in Dak Lak Province who lost his mobility after a stroke is in need of financial support to have an electric wheelchair to be able to work on his own.
According to Thang, he was born in Phu Yen Province and went to Dak Lak alone to find work as a porter. He then got married and has four children.
20 years ago, after working, he slept at the market and had a stroke in the morning. He was saved but his health deteriorated so quickly that he couldn't work anymore so he sells lotto tickets to earn money. His wife left them when their youngest daughter was one year old.
For the past three years, his condition has worsened, his limbs have curved up and become stiff so one of his friends help take him to his lotto stall every day. But recently, Thang mostly stays home as it's getting harder and harder for him to move around. Thang said he only wished for an electric wheelchair to be able to work more.
"I live on a monthly allowance for disabled people. The locality authorities gave me a wheelchair before but I was too weak to even push the wheels myself for too long so I gave it to another person in need," he said.
He went on to say that he dreams of having an electric wheelchair. But the VND20m cost is too expensive. He wants to go out to work more to save money for his daughter's studies.
"She wants to keep studying. I know she has cried about it," he said.

Thang's dilapidated house
The dilapidated house of Nguyen Ngoc Thang is located inside a small alleyway on Y Ni Ksor Street, Buon Ma Thuot City. There's nothing valuable in his house but an old refrigerator. Even the door to the toilet is broken. The house is covered up in various sheets and canvas to block out the wind and rain.According to Thang, he was born in Phu Yen Province and went to Dak Lak alone to find work as a porter. He then got married and has four children.
20 years ago, after working, he slept at the market and had a stroke in the morning. He was saved but his health deteriorated so quickly that he couldn't work anymore so he sells lotto tickets to earn money. His wife left them when their youngest daughter was one year old.
