Van Long (8 years old) and Kieu Chi (7 years old, residing in residential group 3, Vu Quang town, Vu Quang district, Ha Tinh) are in extremely pitiful circumstances. Their parents are Mr. Vo Van The (born 1989) and Ms. Le Thi Thu Ha (born 1976). Recently, while working as a construction worker, Mr. The had an accident, fell from the third floor to the ground, lost consciousness, and severed his arm.

Mr. The is from Nghe An. More than ten years ago, he came to Ha Tinh to work as a laborer at construction sites and fell in love with Ms. Ha, a woman 13 years older than him. Two unfortunate lives met, happiness blossomed when they gave birth to two children, Van Long and Kieu Chi.

Both of them did not have stable jobs or farmland, so they borrowed a piece of land from relatives to build a temporary hut. Due to poor health, Ms. Ha can only do light work such as picking up scrap to make a living. The family’s burden falls on Mr. The’s shoulders. To have money to cover family life, he had to work hard at every job. 

20 days ago, Mr. The worked as a construction worker at a construction site in Vu Quang town. While working on the third floor, he accidentally tripped and fell from the third floor to the ground, causing unconsciousness and severed left arm. Seeing him lying motionless, people around him rushed to take him to the hospital with multiple injuries.

Upon receiving the news that her husband was in trouble, Ms. Ha quickly left her burden of scrap on the side of the road and rushed home to borrow money to save her husband. After many attempts, Ms. Ha was able to borrow 80 million VND from relatives to take her husband to the provincial hospital and transfer him to Hanoi for emergency surgery. Because Mr. The did not have health insurance, his family had to pay the entire cost of long-term treatment.

Wiping away her tears, Ms. Ha confided: “I accidentally failed a boat trip, got married too hard and had conflicts. After the divorce, I met Mr. The and gave birth to two children, Long and Chi. I myself have arthritis. Because of my heart disease, I can’t do heavy work. Every day I pick up scraps and scraps to resell to earn money to support my children, while my husband works as a laborer. I thought the difficulties would gradually pass Falling from the third floor again, his arm was amputated. After several years of continuous accidents, his health weakened, and after this time he was unable to help his wife and children do anything.”

After more than 2 weeks of treatment in Hanoi, Mr. The was brought back to his makeshift hut by his relatives. Looking blank, the man said helplessly: “My family is in so much trouble, we don’t have any land or houses. I thought I would work for a few more years and then save up to buy a small piece of land for my children and build a house.” Temporary house for my children to have a place to study. Unexpectedly, I fell from the 3rd floor to the ground. Now my children have to suffer, the debt my wife borrowed to pay for my treatment last year I also had an accident, my wife also had to borrow 50 million and was unable to repay it.”

Mr. Pham Huy Dat, Chairman of Vu Quang town (Vu Quang district, Ha Tinh) said that the situation of Mr. The and Ms. Ha is extremely difficult.

“These two people lived together, had no land, and asked relatives to build a small temporary house to live in. The situation was already difficult, but now Mr. The had a work accident and had his right arm amputated at home. “The two children are still too young. I hope the sponsors will help and share with his family.” Mr. Dat said
