 >>  Ill widow calls for help

Dantri's readers have sent over VND96m (USD4,300) to support two brothers whose father had died and mother is dying of cancer.

Vuong Thi Huong's husband died from lung cancer nearly a decade ago. Then four years ago, the family was shocked to discover she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Huong now can only depend on morphine to ease the pain when she is in terminal stages of the disease.

 

Huong and her oldest son

Huong's only worry is her two sons' future. Huong's 15-year-old son, Trinh Van Duc, even asked to leave school to take care of his mother.

"I'm now only waiting to die, but how can I when my children have no one to depend on? I wish my husband were still alive," she said.

 

Huong's family receives donation

After their story was published, many people have donated to the family VND96,075,000 to overcome hardship. Huong was moved and said she was grateful to everyone. She said she'd save the money to pay for her sons' education.
