Duy and his mother
On Thursday, the donation of VND157.46 million was granted to the 14-year-old boy’s Nguyen Vu Duy.
Duy’s mother, Do Thi Ngoan said a Vietnamese person in Australia called her to express her sympathy about Duy’s condition.
The boy is receiving chemotherapy before a stem cell transplant. Despite the treatment, he has won prizes in many art, poetry and letter-writing contests.
Duy’s father died when he was just five years old. In 2019, the boy was diagnosed with brain tumour. His condition has worsened, causing him severe pains.
Some kinds of medicines for Duy are not covered by the health insurance, adding more pressure to his family.
