Born with a terrible disease, two sisters in Trong Quan commune (Dong Hung district, Thai Binh province) have lived miserably, struggling with the disease for 50 years.

Coming to the small house in hamlet 6 ( Trong Quan commune, Dong Hung district, Thai Binh province), we were saddened by the situation and deformed facial shape of two sisters, Nguyen Thi Lan (50 years old). and Nguyen Thi Phuong (45 years old).
Ms. Lan confided: “My two sisters were born with a congenital disease. Some time after birth, my parents discovered that my sister and I had small red pimples on our faces, but due to our family’s economic difficulties, we had no money. Treated both sisters. From then on, those small pimples grew on my face and spread to my whole body, and so did my sister.”

“Lan has neurofibromatosis in her right neck and disc neurofibroma, and I have neurofibromatosis number 7. I don’t remember when my left eye was covered like that, I just know it bit me and The pain is constant, I even think I can hardly survive and overcome it until now. With support, I have also had surgery twice” – Ms. Phuong hugged her face and cried.
The disfigured face after a period of illness seems to make people no longer recognize Lan and Phuong. The lives of the two sisters fell into misery and hardship when both their parents left them one after another.

“After my parents passed away, I had only two sisters to rely on each other, so a year ago I still took the opportunity to work as a hired laborer to have money to make ends meet. Gradually my health weakened, so I stopped staying at home and spent time I spent time taking care of my younger sister, trying to cultivate 3 acres of rice fields to have rice to eat” – Ms. Lan sadly said.
