70 year old mother alone raising 4 unfortunate lives

(Baonghean.vn) - Despite her old age and exhaustion, Ms. Truong Thi Luat in Hamlet 5, Quynh Dien Commune, (Quynh Luu) still has to struggle alone to make a living to support four unfortunate lives in her family.

Getting married was not as fortunate as other women. As a concubine, she had to endure many bitter days, humiliation, and was beaten and abused by her husband all day long. She thought that when her children were born, her life would be better, but nothing changed.

Painful, desperate... she decided to take her two daughters back to her mother's house, raising them alone. However, her unfortunate fate did not spare her, that was when her daughter Hoang Thi Hoa was just 6 years old when she contracted encephalitis. Due to extremely difficult economic conditions and lack of money for timely treatment, Hoa completely lost all ability to develop normally.

Every day, Mrs. Luat has to take care of her two daughters who are disabled due to brain disease, her mother who is over 90 years old, and her grandson.

Every time she saw her innocent child, unable to control her actions, her heart ached. The pain of her first daughter's illness had not yet subsided when disaster struck when her second daughter, Hoang Thi Phuong, at the age of 7, also suffered from the same illness as her older sister.

Mrs. Luat had to run around and borrow money everywhere to take her child to get treatment. Thanks to timely treatment, Phuong's illness was less severe, but the after-effects left Phuong with a crippled arm and leg and she was not very active. Whenever the weather changed and her children had epileptic seizures, she had to stay by her side until the illness passed.

At the age of 70, Mrs. Luat's body is thin and weak, but because of life, she has to work hard in the fields to earn more money to buy medicine for her two children, who are 40 and 38 years old. Daily life is so difficult that sometimes it makes her want to collapse.

The burden on Mrs. Luat's shoulders became even heavier when recently, Ms. Phuong gave birth to a baby boy while her ability to work was limited. The economy was increasingly exhausted, worrying about meals and porridge to get through the day. Despite the hardships and difficulties, every day she also had to take on the responsibility of taking care of her blind mother who was over 90 years old. Therefore, despite her best efforts, she still could not escape poverty, her family was always listed as a poor household in the commune.

The house of great solidarity of local people contributed to build for her family since 2010.

Understanding the difficult circumstances of her family, the Fatherland Front of the commune and the hamlet mobilized people to support and build a shelter to help her family have a place to live. With the help of money and working days from mass organizations, in 2010, her shelter was started on an area of ​​20m2.²But what worries her most is what will happen to her children and grandchildren when she is no longer here, and what will they cling to to survive?

The difficult circumstances of Mrs. Truong Thi Luat's family are very much in need of help from the community and philanthropists to help her overcome her difficulties./.
