Girl losing parts of her face to strange illness

A mother in Quang Tri Province is calling for support to help save her daughter who is suffering from severe damage to her face due to a strange illness.

 

Ngo Thi Thuy Trang

For ten years, Nguyen Thi Thuy Trang's face has blistered and skin has begun to die. Her eyesight is also worsening.

Do Thi Hoi, Trang's mother, said, "She was fine upon birth but after a while, small red dots appeared on her skin and her face started to blister. At that time, doctors said she just had skin problems, but then her face ulcerated."

When Trang was 7 years old, Trang's mother borrowed money to bring her to a hospital in Hue but doctors couldn't find the cause of her illness. Five years ago, Trang's mother brought her to Hanoi but the doctors also couldn't cure her.

  


Trang's skin blisters and falls off

Trang's mother thinks that maybe Trang was affected by congenital problems associated with Agent Orange.

Trang's parents worked hard in order to earn more money to find treatment for Trang. But recently, Trang's father suddenly died of cancer, leaving all responsibility on her mother.

Trang is the youngest daughter with four siblings. The two oldest sisters are married and one of her sisters had to drop out of university to find work.

  


The cause of Trang's illness has not been determined

"Sometimes, she told me to just let her die," Trang's mother said. "How can a mother sit still seeing her like that?"

Trang's mother is given VND300,000 a month as a benefit payment for the victims of Agent Orange but this allowance isn’t sufficient to pay for a trip to find treatment for Trang.
