A 14-year-old girl in Ha Tinh Province who is suffering from lupus erythematosus and staying alone at hospital is in need of help as her family can't afford the treatment.
Phan Thi Nga is also being treated for kidney failure at Hue Central Hospital and her condition is worsening. Nga tried to finish ninth grade but her health became so weak that she had to take leaves 10 months ago.
Phan Thi Nga
Her mother abandoned her family. Despite his leg injuries, her father does his best to raise the children on his own. He is given a monthly allowance of VND1.3m (USD58) for an injured veteran but it is not enough for the whole family.
Nga has two younger brother and sister and two older sisters who are both working far away in Quang Tri and HCM City. Her father has to stay home to take care of her siblings so she goes to hospital alone.
Every month, Nga's father borrows VND2m for her to go to hospital. The family already owes the bank VND20m (USD895) and lots of money to the neighbours.
"We don't know how to repay them. I want to return to school and become a doctor but I know I can't live long," Nga said. "The meals at our home only consist of vegetables. My treatment is hurt but seeing my family like that is even more painful."
Dr. Nguyen Thi Hong said, "We have medicines for lupus but her condition is severe and may worsen in the coming time. She also has kidney failure which will soon enter the final stages."
