Paralysed father can't afford milk for his child

A father in Phu Yen Province is calling for help for his treatment after a work accident and to raise his small child.

Truong The Duy and his wife have a 15-month old baby. Duy travelled to the cities and was able to find work at a ceramic tile company. Unfortunately, he had an accident on his first day and suffered from spinal cord injury.

"Since then I'm completely paralysed," he said. "The company provided VND20m (USD880) but I needed VND300m (USD13,200). My family had to borrow from everywhere to treat me. My father is a bricklayer and my mother has a mental illness. The creditors are urging us to repay them but we have no money."


  

Duy paralysed after the accident

Duy said they didn't even have money to buy his medicines and milk for his child. The whole family depends on the monthly social allowance of VND540,000. He has to grit his teeth through the pain. He said he regretted marrying and having a child as he has become a burden to the family.

"We struggle with the daily meals. I can't take care of my wife and kid. What'll happen when my kid grows up and go to school?" he said.

Vo Lanh, Duy's neighbour, said that the neighbourhood gathered together and helped build a small house for his family. Luong Cong Cong, another neighbour, said Duy's child was malnourished as the family couldn't afford her milk.

Nguyen Thanh Thep, chairman of Hoa Hiep Bac Commune, said, "We always share with Duy's family donations from kind people. But the commune is also poor and can only help them so much."
