The family is in dire straits, the husband is disabled and the wife has cancer.

(Baonghean.vn) - Although she has a serious illness, Ms. Le Thi Loan still has to take care of her elderly father, disabled husband and two school-age children by herself.

Having known Dang Ba The since childhood, knowing that he was disabled but admired his honesty and gentleness, despite her family's objections, Loan still decided to marry him. Life was difficult, but the result of their sincere love was two well-behaved sons.

However, in 2007, Mr. The had an accident, which made him disabled and now he was paralyzed, making the burden on Ms. Loan's shoulders even heavier. The family only relied on a few acres of garden, a few acres of rice fields, and more than a dozen chickens. Ms. Loan had to work hard to have enough food and clothing for her family members.

But fate is really a tease. Last year, Loan discovered that her body had strange symptoms such as frequent high fever, small lumps in the chest, difficulty breathing... At first, she thought she had a common illness, but the symptoms became more and more serious.

Feeling sorry for her situation, her neighbors donated money for her to go to K Hospital for tests. Doctors concluded that she had colon cancer and advised her to stay for treatment with surgery and radiotherapy. Her family's situation was already difficult, when she heard the bad news, she was even more shocked and devastated.

Thinking of her old father, husband and children who needed someone to support them, she tried to borrow money everywhere to undergo 12 radiation treatments, but her condition did not improve, while the debt kept increasing.

Now, Ms. Loan's cancer has spread to many parts of her body, and the pain of the disease torments her day and night. Ms. Loan said in tears: I know that the disease is difficult to overcome, but I still try to live optimistically so that my children can study with peace of mind. Luckily, I have the attention of society, and because my family is poor, my children can go to school without tuition fees. However, they are too young to take care of themselves, not to mention their elderly father and paralyzed husband.

Ms. Le Thi Trinh, Vice President of the Red Cross Society of Anh Son district, said: In the past, we have mobilized organizations and individuals to support, but the amount of money raised is only at a limited level. Therefore, we hope that in the coming time, we will receive more support from individuals and organizations so that Ms. Loan can have more money for medical treatment and have the health to take care of her family.
