Mr. Nguyen Khac Xuan is a maintenance worker at Food Center No. 1. His family situation is extremely difficult. His parents are old and weak, his wife has just given birth and is the main breadwinner in the family. Unfortunately, he had an accident. After nearly a month of treatment, his illness has not progressed much. He still has a blood clot in his brain, his left eye is temporarily blind, and his nose is showing signs of necrosis.

Faced with that situation, the Labor Federation of Nghia Dan district coordinated with the Trade Union of TH Milk Food Joint Stock Company to mobilize and raise more than 76 million VND to support his family and continue to call on union members to support him to soon overcome his illness and difficulties to quickly return to work.

The family of Mr. Kha Van Dung (born in 1982) in Nhan Nhinh village, Ngoc Lam commune is a poor household. The family's income mainly comes from farming. Both husband and wife have been sick for many years. The house is seriously degraded and there are no conditions to repair it.

Faced with that situation, with the support and contributions of the brothers and people in the village, the Youth Union of Ngoc Lam Border Guard Station coordinated with the Youth Union of Ngoc Lam Commune to send forces to support the family to rebuild the house for Mr. Dung's family. The project is expected to be put into use in early April 2019.
