Mr. Thanh's son - Mr. Phan Van Viet is the pillar of the family, currently working as a worker at YIDA Vietnam Co., Ltd. in Song Thao town industrial cluster (Cam Khe commune).

As for Mr. Viet's wife - Ms. Tran Thi Oanh, she cannot go to work because she still has to take care of her paralyzed mother, cancerous father and two young children.

On the night of May 19, after a heavy rain, the embankment behind the house collapsed, causing a small shack expanded with old bricks and corrugated iron roof to collapse where Mr. Viet and his three children were sleeping.

That was the ultimate tragedy that struck Mr. Thanh's family. Two of his grandchildren, a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old, were crushed by bricks and soil and had to be hospitalized.

Up to now, the 4-year-old child's health has stabilized. However, the younger child is still unconscious, being treated at the hospital, and her mother has to be on duty day and night to take care of her.
