Poor man calls for help to save his wife
  • By Hoang Trung | dtinews.vn | June 15, 2017 02:41 PM
A poor man in the central province of Tra Vinh has had to sell all his possessions in the family to pay the treatment fees for his wife who is suffering from tuberculous meningitis and tuberculosis.

Ho Van Cuong in Cau Ke District’s Thong Hoa Commune said that in 2015, his wife Huynh Thi Thuy was diagnosed with tuberculosis and then a short time later she contracted tuberculous meningitis. She had to stay at Cho Ray Hospital in HCM City for treatment for a long time, while the family’s condition is very difficult.

   

Cuong and his wife


Cuong said he had sold all of the family’s possessions, even the four cows and the house, to pay the treatment fees. However, his wife’s condition has not yet improved. To date, the couple has incurred a debt of tens of millions of VND.

Now, Thuy is bed-ridden to wait for the death and all her personal activities have to depend on other people’s help.

Every day, Cuong works as a hired worker and then raises chickens to support the family. His eldest child who is at grade 11 left school to come to Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province to earn money. The second child is also facing the risk of leaving school due to the family’s financial difficulties. 

    

The family's tent


His relatives have lent the couple a small land plot by a canal to set up a tent to live in. Whenever it rains heavily, the water flows into their 20-square metre tent.

Local residents have contributed money and food to help Cuong’s family and his wife’s condition really relies on the community support.
