DTiNews readers have donated VND111.25 million (USD5,000) to a poor family in the central province of Ha Tinh in which a 11-year-old girl has to take care of her ailing parents alone.

Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao is living with her parents and a 3-year-old sister in Quyet Thang Village, An Loc Commune. Her mother Nguyen Thi Tam has a brain tumour and went through two operations. She is too weak to even speak long. Half of her body is almost paralysed. Thao's father, Nguyen Van Long, is suffering from acute myelitis and breast swelling.
