Previously, on March 5, the family was preparing a feast and boiling a large pot of water to cook chicken. Nhat ran over and slipped, fell into the pot of water and was burned over 50%. After first aid at Thanh Chuong District Hospital and the Maternity and Pediatrics Hospital, Nhat was taken by ambulance to the National Burn Institute for treatment.
The family situation is very difficult, Nhat himself is being treated for pneumonia and otitis media. His younger brother, who is just over a year old, also has to be hospitalized continuously for pneumonia treatment. Therefore, the couple takes turns taking care of the child in the hospital and cannot go to work to earn money. When Nhat was burned, they had no money to pay the hospital fees.
After Nghe An Newspaper published the article, the Party Committee and People's Committee of Dong Van commune also assigned the Commune Youth Union to write a letter calling on Dong Van's children and people from all over the country to support Nhat to have funds for treatment.
