Heart diseases leave brother and sister helpless
  • By Huong Hong | dtinews.vn | March 04, 2017 01:34 PM
A grandmother in Hanoi is calling for help for her two grandchildren who are suffering from heart disease and the death of their mother.

The family of Do Thi Thuy live in a tiny house at Ngoc Than Village, Hanoi. They have nothing valuable but an old bed, and a damaged wardrobe.

Thuy said when her first grandchild Nguyen Quy Hiep was born in 2007, everyone was happy. But then they were told that both Hiep and her mother had heart disease. Hiep also has chest deformity and needed special care.

Thuy's husband died soon later after struggling with stomach cancer. According to Thuy, Hiep's illness depressed her husband greatly.



Nguyen Khanh Ly still misses her mother

Two years later, the family welcomed the second child Nguyen Khanh Ly. Unfortunately, Ly also has heart disease and astigmatism since birth. The family borrowed money everywhere to treat the children. Hiep and Ly's mother only used herbal medicines to live by and died early last year.

"That day my father brought us to hospital. When we returned, I saw that they were putting my mother into a coffin. I miss her so much. Will she come back?" 8-year-old Nguyen Khanh Ly said.

 
Do Thi Thuy and her grandchildren

Thuy said at first, the children cried and fainted a lot because of heart disease. Even though their mother had died for a year now, they still hide in a corner to cry.

In 2011, Thuy was admitted to hospital for goiter and a disc hernia. She was scheduled to see the doctor again but they have no money left. Hiep's second operation is also coming. Recently, Hiep's father broke his leg after falling from a scaffold and hasn't recovered.

Nguyen Quy Thuan, vice chairman of Ngoc My Commune, said, "They are the special case in the commune. We have visited and encouraged them but we can only help them so much. We hope they will get help from the community and Hiep and Ly's treatment will be continued."
