Six-member family in difficulties after father died

A family in Phu Yen Province is calling for financial help to support three children after their sole breadwinner died in a storm.


  

Nguyen Thi Kim Chi and her children

Nguyen Minh Huong was reinforcing the house as a storm landed in Phu Yen in last November when he was accidentally electrocuted and died, leaving behind three children and a weak wife and mother. According to the neighbours, Huong was a good man and often helped other people while trying to support a seven-member family.

Nguyen Thi To Trinh, head of Phu Tinh Village, said, "Because he didn't get a proper education, Huong went to the forest to chop down earleaf acacia for hire. He didn't rest at noon. But despite his effort, the house has almost nothing because there are many members and he was the sole breadwinner."

After Huong died, his family borrowed everywhere but they couldn't find enough money to buy a coffin. The neighbours helped them complete the funeral. Nguyen Thi Bich Nga said she and the village head were the ones who called for donation after witnessing the family's situation.

"After buying the coffin, we realised that there was no burial shroud so someone had to run out to buy one. It breaks my heart when I recall that day," Nga said.

Huong's 15-year-old son, Nguyen Minh Chanh, and his wife, Nguyen Thi Kim Chi, take over the responsibility to support the family and he may have to drop out of school. Chanh helps his mother collect the leftover cassava after each harvest season to raise two siblings and grandmother. On lucky days, they were able to earn VND50,000 to VND70,000. Chanh also finds other jobs to help the family.

"I also want to be able to go to school and play like other children. I tried to work in order to become a teacher. But now I don't know what future awaits me," he said.

Chanh's mother has weak health so she can't do heavy works. She said she was saving money for a cleft palate surgery for her son. She said this was also Huong's wish.

Thai An Nam, chairman of Son Thanh Dong Commune People's Committee, said, "After Huong died, we tried to help his family. In the near future, we'll list his family as poor household for a monthly allowance and preferential policies. However, they are in great difficulties and need community help so that the children will be able to go to school."
