Family background of war invalids with 3 generations infected with Agent Orange

On July 23, the Faith group led by Mr. Nguyen Van Thong visited and gave gifts to the family of veteran Nguyen Khanh Nha in Le Mao ward, Vinh city.

Veteran Nguyen Khanh Nha is 68 years old this year, and fought in the Quang Tri battlefield. He is currently a 4/4 war invalid, infected with Agent Orange, and his wife is the daughter of a martyr.

Mr. Nha’s family is in a particularly difficult situation, as three generations have been affected by Agent Orange. Mr. Nha has four children who all suffer from war-related complications. His grandchildren are also affected by Agent Orange.

Mr. Nguyen Van Nha's youngest son has the most severe disability in the family. He has cerebral palsy, is deaf and mute from birth, cannot take care of himself, and must have someone take care of him from eating to personal hygiene. Because he cannot control himself, the family is forced to make a chain to protect his safety and everyone else's. According to Mr. Nha, "this chain has been attached since the youngest child was a toddler until now, and may have to be attached for life"...

Visiting, Mr. Nguyen Van Thong expressed his deep gratitude and thanks to veteran Nguyen Khanh Nha for his great contributions to the country, and affirmed that all classes of people and generations are always grateful for the contributions of previous generations. The country has independence, peace, unity, stability and development as it is today, thanks to the immense contributions of heroes, martyrs, wounded soldiers, sick soldiers, and those who participated in the resistance war on all fronts.

On this occasion, to share the difficulties with the family of veteran Nguyen Khanh Nha, the representative of the Faith group presented 20,000,000 VND (twenty million VND) from the group's fund. Mr. Nguyen Van Thong and members of the Faith group encouraged and expressed their wish that veteran Nguyen Khanh Nha would continue to stay healthy to create a foundation, add faith and strength to his children and grandchildren so that together they can continue to overcome the serious consequences left by Agent Orange.

The Faith Group was established in 2014 and has been operating with the desire to help people in especially difficult circumstances. Every month, members of the group donate money from their personal income to support the fund and directly visit families in especially difficult circumstances. The humanitarian addresses that the group visits and supports all have the participation and confirmation of local government representatives.
