Charity
Family struck by illnesses struggles to stay alive

A family in Quang Nam Province are in desperate need of financial support to help cover medical treatment for several ill members.


  

Van and her son at the hospital

46-year-old Nguyen Thi Van had to borrow VND5m from neighbours in order to bring her son to Cho Ray Hospital in HCM City. 16-year-old Luong Nguyen Trung Bac was diagnosed with scoliosis, a sideways curvature of the spine.

"His breastbone pressed on his lungs and heart, causing breathing difficulties. It hurts even if he lies down and does nothing. He should have been admitted sooner," said Dr Tran Minh Tri.

Van said Bac had scoliosis since he was small. Because of poverty, they couldn't take him to the hospital at all. Van had hoped all the symptoms would disappear over time but in fact, they only worsened. Sometimes, he couldn't breathe at all and looked nearly purple. His legs already weakened so he can't walk.

"I thought he would die," Van said.

Even with health insurance, the family still needs to pay VND140m for his treatment which is out of their capacity.

Both Van and her husband are orphans and have four children together. Her husband is affected by Agent Orange and lost the ability to work. Their eldest daughter is suffering from a brain tumour, the second daughter has got married and the third daughter is studying at Danang University.

Van becomes the pillar of the whole family. Unfortunately, she was also struck by illness.

"Early this year, a medical charity group arrived in our hometown and doctors told me to get checked quickly. I went to the Oncology Hospital and was told that I was in the early stage of cervical cancer," she said. "Doctors said I needed treatment but my family don't even have enough money for daily meals."
