Veteran desperately fights cancer while raising family
  • | dtinews.vn | August 30, 2019 08:01 AM
A war veteran in Phu Tho Province is in desperate need of financial support to treat cancer.

  

Vu Van Dung at home

65-year-old Vu Van Dung is living in a small house in Dong Luong Commune. He has been tortured by pain and has to depend on pain killers. Dung's mother is 90 years old with weak health while his wife has a foot disability.

After being discharged from the army, he became a worker at a cattle farm until the Doi Moi (Reform) period started. Both Dung and his wife depend on their rice fields to earn a living. In order to raise the family, they collected scrap. Three of their daughters dropped out before sixth grade and live in poverty.


  

Tran Thi Viet collects scraps to earn money

Tran Thi Viet, Dung's wife, said, "Our only son is mentally ill and often has fits. When it is cold, he may have five to six fits a day. There are scratches on his face and his clothes are torn but I don't know what to do."

In 2018, Dung was diagnosed with stomach cancer and mitral valve problem. He had to undergo an operation to prolong his life.

Bui Quang Thuc, head of Van Thang Zone, said, "We have called for donations to help their family. But most of the households there are poor so we can't help them much. We hope they will get help from kind people."

If you can help them please donate through:
