LD25004: Difficult circumstances of a woman raising 4 young children in Nam Dinh

After her husband died in a traffic accident, to make a living and take care of her 4 young children, Ms. Ha could not work stably at the company but had to work for hire to earn money. Taking advantage of the time when her children go to school, she pick up tomatoes for hire, earning about 100,000 VND/day. That is a small income for Mrs. Ha to raise 4 children and save to pay off debts.

The small stall was just built roughly, the walls were not painted yet, inside the void where Mrs. Ha and her 4 young children lived. Mrs. Ha sadly said: "My eldest daughter, Bich Hanh (born in 2014), has congenital hemorrhage. This is a serious disease, requiring a blood transfusion twice a month to maintain life. The day I gave birth, my child was healthy normally, when I turned 2 years old, he showed unusual symptoms such asaying yellow skin, abdominal stiffness, and then discovered the disease."

During the time Mrs. Ha's husband was still alive, to treat Hanh's illness, the couple worked for hire and ran around everywhere, and there was not enough to give their daughter monthly blood at the National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion.

"Every month, my wife and I have to try to get our child admitted to the hospital on the right day. Because given on the right day, the child is healthy, and if the calendar is not good, the child is tired and weak and cannot get up. In July 2020, my daughter had a certificate of disability, so she was given free blood transfusion, the family only had to pay for travel to Hanoi, the burden was somewhat reduced," Ms. Ha said in tears.

For more than half a year now, when the blood transfusion schedule is in place, every 3am, Mrs. Ha and her eldest daughter take each other to Hanoi, only to return home late at night. No one can trust them because their grandparents are no longer there, their grandmothers are over 80 years old and weak and do not live nearby, so these days, with 3 children at home, Mrs. Ha has to ask neighbors for help.

The concern about her eldest daughter's illness has not yet passed, Mrs. Ha is even more worried when her youngest son, Huong (born in 2020), is showing similar signs to Hanh. Currently, Ms. Ha still does not have money to take Huong to the doctor.

Talking to PV of Lao Dong Newspaper, Mr. Luu Van Luong - Secretary of the Party Committee of Hai Ninh Commune - said that Ms. Ha's family was in a very difficult situation when her husband, the main breadwinner, had just passed away due to an accident, leaving her alone to raise 4 young children. The older child has a serious illness and has had to be treated for many years. The Women's Union of the commune also takes on stepmother status and provides monthly support and help to the children.
