Dantri/Dtinews Newspaper has just transferred VND 347 million (USD 15,086) to support a poor man to cover a bone marrow transplant.

The money was donated by readers after the story of 33-year-old Tran Cong Nha was published on Dantri/Dtinews.

Nha, who comes from a poor family in the central province of Quang Binh, was diagnosed with the disease right before his marriage. He was brought to the Hanoi-based National Institute of Haematology and Blood Transfusion in critical condition. His younger sister, Tran My Linh, is a nurse at the hospital but she can only help take care of him but can’t find enough money for his treatment. Linh has put her salary book as collateral to borrow over VND300 million (USD13,043) from a bank for his first operation.

After the surgery, Nha was informed that he needs a bone marrow transplant that costs between VND 900 million - 1 billion (USD39,130-43,478) to completely address the problem. Although his sister is willing to donate her bone marrow and testing shows that her samples could be used for the transplant, the man does not have any money to cover the fee.

The hospital has helped send the story of Nha to Dantri/Dtinews Newspaper and many readers have sent money to help him.


Nha expressed great thanks to the kind readers who have helped save his life.

"Besides the donations sent to Dantri/Dtinews' Charity Fund, I've also received over VND 300 million (USD 13,043) from many donors to my bank account," Nha said. "Now I can hope to return to normal life again."
