Woman struggles to support family at old age
  • By Huong Hong | dtinews.vn | November 19, 2019 07:18 PM
An elderly woman in Ha Nam Province is in need of financial help to support her ill husband and daughter.

  

Nguyen Thi Kim Lien (R) and her daughter

80-year-old Nguyen Thi Kim Lien lives in Da Bo Dao Village. Lien has five children but because of poverty, her children were unable to go to school. After growing up, they went to other provinces and cities like Danang, and Binh Duong to find works. Some of them haven't returned home for seven years.

Her 54-year-old daughter, Nguyen Thi Nga, suffers from mental illness since she was small and often wanders alone when no one notices. There was one time, Lien was very worried when she couldn't find Nga, worrying that she might have an accident somewhere. Only when Nga was found sitting near a lake that Lien could feel relieved.


  

Lien's husband Nguyen Minh Hong


Meanwhile, her husband was bed-bounded after a stroke in September. Lien opens a tiny store at home but there are rarely any customers.

Nguyen, one of Lien's neighbours, said, "We often go downtown for grocery shopping but I try to buy from Lien to support her. We also help her after her husband had a stroke."

Recently, Lien fell from a tree while trying to pick longan fruit and had to borrow money to go to the hospital.

Nguyen Van Hop, head of Da Bo Dao Village, said they can only help Lien so much so they hope that she will get more help from the community.
