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

The concrete path from the gate to my mother's yard, approximately 20 meters long and 1.5 meters wide, has been completed, making it easier and more convenient for my mother and her family to travel. All costs for materials, cement, sand, gravel, bricks, and labor were covered by the Town Military Command, the Town Youth Union, and the Party Committee of Block 6.

This is a meaningful and humane act by the armed forces of the town, the town's youth union, and the local Party committee and government, contributing to encouraging Mother Ly to overcome some of the difficulties in her life so that she can live happily and healthily with her children and grandchildren.
