LD25002: Young Lieutenant has a serious illness, his family is helpless to pay

Military Lieutenant Suffers from serious illness

In the last days of the year, when comrades and teammates were tirelessly completing their tasks, Lieutenant Tran Viet Luong (working at the Policy Department, Political Department - Dak Lak Provincial Military Command) had to be hospitalized.

Born in 1996, Mr. Luong graduated and joined the army 3 years ago. Like many other young men, he entered the military environment with the dream of becoming an excellent soldier. However, an unexpected tragedy came to him.

Mr. Luong shared: "In 2021, I was diagnosed with bone marrow failure - a serious disease. The cost of treatment and medicine is extremely expensive, while my family is facing difficulties. For nearly 4 years, my parents and I have borrowed about 1 billion VND from everywhere to treat my illness, but my illness has not improved."

Mr. Luong's life seemed hopeless, when the terrible disease had plagued his health and spirit. But then, a sudden light appeared in his life.

In 2023, his first love, Ms. Dau Thi Chung, agreed to his proposal, despite his serious illness.

Ms. Chung emotionally said: "We have been in love for 9 years, and decided to get married even though we knew Mr. Luong was seriously ill. My family is worried because his health is poor and his illness is unpredictable. But because I love Luong so much, I am still determined to be together".

Mr. Luong and Ms. Chung's marriage soon paid off, when they welcomed their first son. Their child is now nearly 1 year old, a joy and hope for the young couple in a challenging life.

Lying on a hospital bed at the National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion (Hanoi), Mr. Luong choked up as he shared: "My newborn children have not seen their father many times. I have to continuously receive treatment outside of Hanoi, every night I miss my wife and children, I can't sleep".

"My wife's job is unstable and she is currently raising her children in a boarding house in Buon Ma Thuot. I just hope my illness will soon subside so that I can return to work to ease the difficulties for my wife, children and parents" - Mr. Luong hopes.

Requesting help

Paralyzed 25 years ago, Mr. Tran Van Linh's health in M'Drak district, Dak Lak province is now increasingly weak.

Seeing the picture of his son lying on the hospital bed, Mr. Linh was even more choked up: "My family has three children. Luong is the eldest son, the two have independent finances but their jobs are unstable. We have treated and taken medicine for our child by all means, but the condition has not improved."

According to Mr. Linh, Luong is currently being treated outside of Hanoi, with only the youngest daughter staying to take care of her brother. As for him and his wife in the countryside, they work hard every day to earn money to cover their children's hospital fees, but it is not enough. Each day of her child's hospital fees cost about 3 to 5 million VND.

Through research, it is known that the cost to completely treat Mr. Luong's disease, including bone marrow transplantation and health recovery, is up to 1.3 - 3 billion VND. The whole family hopes for help from benefactors, philanthropists and charity organizations to help Mr. Luong overcome the danger.

A representative of the Policy Department, Political Department - Dak Lak Provincial Military Command said: "Mr. Tran Viet Luong is working at the unit and is currently being treated for his illness in Hanoi. Mr. Luong is in a difficult situation. The unit's staff called for donations to help him have more treatment costs. However, that amount of money is still not enough, because the cost of final treatment for Mr. Luong is too high".
