A poor man and his son who are both suffering from health problems have just received VND62 million (USD2,696) from the public after their story was published on Dantri/Dtinews.




Representatives from Dantri/Dtinews visited Hoang and his son and gave the donations on June 29.

Hoang Xuan Ha, 48, suffers from various diseases including diabetes, heart problems and a stroke. He weighs only 28 kilos. His nine-year-old son also weighs only 20 kilos due to malnutrition. Ha and his son live in a seriously deteriorating house in Village 2 in Hai Phong City's Kien Thuy District after his wife left with their small daughter to live with her parents.


Representatives from Dantri/Dtinews visited Hoang and his son and gave the donations on June 29.

Expressing his sincere thanks to the kind donors, Ha said that after his story was shared in the newspaper, he received many phone calls and gifts from people in and out of the country.

"I've never received so much care and sympathy from so many people who I don't know," the man said. "Some people from Japan called me to express their sympathy and sent some gifts to my son. I'm feeling much better and are more optimistic about life. Thank you so much."

The man said that he has just opened a bank account as many donors wanted to send him some money to help him build a new house.

Speaking about Ha's family, head of Village 2, Nguyen Thi Lan, said that this was the most difficult case in the village.

"Due to weak health, Ha doesn't have a stable job while his son is also not well," the official said. "They are living on support from local authorities, relatives and neighbours. We’ll also help him build a proper house first as his current house is collapsing."
