A couple in the remote mountainous province of Lao Cai is calling for financial support to help treat their five-year-old daughter who is struggling with leukaemia.

The family of Hoang Thi Thi in Dien Quan Commune is living in a dilapidated house.

"Early last year, my daughter, Lam Thi Hai Yen, had a high fever for a whole month. The doctors at our communal clinic couldn't cure her and told us to go to district hospital. We borrowed VND700,000 (USD31) to bring her to the district hospital then travelled to Hanoi," Thi said.

When they arrived at the National Institute of Haematology and Blood Transfusion in Hanoi, they had spent all money. Thi's husband had to hitchhike to return home and borrowed VND5m. Thi only dares to spend VND10,000 (44 US cents) to buy their daily meals so it's lucky when they are given charity meals. Sometimes, they asked to eat other people's leftovers.

As the money ran out, they had no choice but the bring Yen home. However, she still had a high fever and bleeding under her skin. Thi borrowed VND5m with monthly interest rate of 3.5% but it was not enough. The family is now incurring a huge debt.

Thi's father died and her mother re-married a long time ago so she lives with grandmother. The family of her husband are also poor and can't help them.

"Most of our crops this year were destroyed by the floods and rats," she said.

Ly Xuan Kham, head of Dien Village said, "Thi's family only has small cultivated land and she needs to take care of two children, the youngest child is seriously sick. Our village is also poor so the villagers can only help them with rice and corn sometimes."
