LD26234: 21-year-old boy with stage 5 kidney failure, poor family asks for help

In a house in Dong Mua village (Nhu Thanh commune, Thanh Hoa province), Ms. Quach Thi Hue is worried every day about her son who is seriously ill. At the age of 21, Mr. Ha Thanh Xuan has to live with the hospital, blood filtration and medicine.

Before getting sick, Xuan still worked at a company to help his family. After nearly a year of working in the night shift, Xuan's health began to show abnormal signs. The young man often had difficulty breathing, fatigue, edema all over his body, heavy body, dizziness and insomnia.

The family took Xuan to Thanh Hoa Provincial Hospital for examination. After nearly a month of treatment, Xuan was transferred to Military Hospital 103 in Hanoi. Here, according to the family, Xuan was diagnosed with stage 5 chronic kidney failure and had to undergo fistula surgery for blood filtration.

Since then, the life of the 21-year-old boy has been associated with hospital trips. 3 times a week, Xuan has to have hemodialysis. The long journey makes treatment even more difficult, while Xuan's health is getting weaker day by day.

The disease caused Xuan to lack blood many times, and the family had to ask people to donate blood to continue treatment. According to Ms. Hue, her son is getting thinner and paleer. Commuting has also become difficult due to serious health decline.

Not only kidney failure, Xuan is also suffering from severe heart failure. There are times when the young man is so tired that he doesn't want to walk, having to stay in the hospital more than at home.

Behind Xuan's journey of treatment is the hardship of the whole family. Mrs. Hue and her husband have two children. The eldest son is seriously ill, while the second daughter is in 9th grade.

Since her child got sick, Ms. Hue has had to spend a lot of time taking care of and taking her child for treatment, so she cannot work stably. She mainly works as a day laborer, and only has income when there is work. Her husband goes to work far away, and the family's income is still not enough to cover living expenses and treatment costs.

Every time they take their child for blood filtration, the family has to worry about travel expenses, food, medicine and incurred expenses. Meanwhile, Xuan's treatment is prolonged, making the economic burden increasingly large.

My son is still very young, only 21 years old and has to endure a serious illness. My family is very difficult, with no stable income," Ms. Hue said.

In the midst of life piled up with difficulties, Xuan's family really needs the joint efforts of philanthropists to have more conditions to treat the young man and cover living expenses.
