Mother Hoang Thi Ly is 85 years old this year, currently living in Block 6, Nghi Huong Ward, Cua Lo Town. She is the wife of martyr Pham Van Quyen, who sacrificed his life during the resistance war against the US to save the country. Previously, the alley leading to Mother Ly's yard was a dirt road, so during storms, it was difficult for her and her relatives to travel.

The concrete road from the gate to the yard of the mother's house, about 20m long and 1.5m wide, has been completed to help the mother and her family travel more conveniently and easily. All costs for materials, cement, sand, gravel, bricks and labor are jointly guaranteed by the Town Military Command, the Town Youth Union, and the Party Committee of Block 6.

This is a meaningful and humane work of the town's military and union, and the town's local Party Committee and government, contributing to encouraging Mother Ly to overcome some of the difficulties in life to live happily and healthily with her children and grandchildren.
