A 70-year-old blind man in Ha Nam Province is in need of financial help to support his sister who has mental problems.


  

Vu Hong Son and his dog

Vo Hong Son and his sister Vu Thi Thang live in a small house in Vinh Tru Town. Son said he raised a dog since he was small and he is also his faithful companion.

"Whenever I return home, I call for him to make sure that he isn't stolen and feel happy and relief when he answers me," Son said.

Son's sister often mutters to herself and sits alone all day. Tran Van Su, vice head of the Nguyen Khuyen residential cluster, said Thang used to wander away. After falling and getting hurt, she has stopped running away.

"It's heartbreaking seeing Son searching for his sister everywhere so everyone helped him. Thang always falls when she goes out. There was one time, she fell so hard that her head bleed. She was scared of going out since then," Su said.

According to the locals, they only know that Son was blind since he was two years old and his sister is mentally ill since birth. Both of their parents died a long time ago.

"I tried to earn money by grinding the flour and we have government allowance but it's not enough to buy medicines for my sister. As my health deteriorates, I also can't work anymore," Son said.

Their meals often consist of just rice and soup. Son said it was good enough that they still have something to eat.
