Poverty pushes woman into depression
  • By Pham Hoang | dtinews.vn | August 17, 2019 10:37 AM
A woman in Gia Lai Province is in need of financial help to support her ill mother, brother and two small children.

  

The family of Mai Thi Liem

43-year-old Mai Thi Liem lives in a small house in Song Ba Village. Liem said she got married in Dak Lak at 19. However, after giving birth to two children, their relationship became sour and her husband left. After that, Liem and her daughters returned to Gia Lai and lived with her old mother and disabled brother.

Liem's mother, Vu Thi Nguyet, suffers from heart valve disease. Her brother, Mai Van Hong, is paralysed in one leg and lost the ability to work. Liem became the pillar of the family and work hard to support the family. However, her eldest daughter still had to drop out of school to help Liem take care of Nguyen and Hong.

"Every week, we have to travel over 200km to take my mother to Hospital 211 and my brother to the district medical station. Sometimes I thought of committing suicide but who will take care of my mother and brother then. It's hard when the weather gets bad because my mother will have breathing difficulties and my brother will have seizures," she said.


  

Liem takes care of her mother

Liem said her neighbours gave them some money to buy food and she is also trying to do any work she can find. Liem had to borrow money in order to pay school tuition for her youngest daughter.

"I hope she will be able to keep studying and find a stable job in the future so as not to be like me," Liem said.

Ha Van Duong, chairman of Chu Rcam Commune said Liem's second daughter was at risk of dropping out of school. "Her income can hardly pay for all medicines. I often ask the women’s union to visit and help them. I hope she will get help from the community," he said.
