Sitting in the emergency room of Nghe An General Hospital, Mrs. Ho Thi Huong in Hamlet 1, Khanh Son Commune, Nam Dan District (Nghe An) - mother of Ha Quang Que - was still in shock when she heard that her son had been in a traffic accident and was in critical condition. Upon receiving the news, although she was sick and had difficulty walking, she immediately asked her brothers to take her to Vinh city to take care of her son and complete the hospital admission procedures.

Going to the hospital from 9pm on March 13, Ms. Huong still could not go in with her child because Mr. Ha Quang Que's injuries were very severe, he was in a coma and had to stay in the intensive care room.

Talking about her family situation, Mrs. Huong choked up: My family has 3 sons, her husband died 4 years ago due to a drowning accident. Ha Quang Que (born in 1996) is the second son and also the main breadwinner, taking care of everything in the house; the eldest brother has not had any news since the day their father died; after Que is the youngest brother, who is also 18 years old this year and is working for hire to make ends meet. Because of the difficult family situation, not having enough to eat or wear, Que dropped out of school to stay home and help the family. Que accepts any job that is offered to her. After finishing the job, she goes to the fields to catch crabs and fish to sell to buy food and medicine to treat her mother.

Before the accident, Ha Quang Que worked as a construction worker in Vinh city. On his way home from work at around 8:00 p.m. on March 13, he stopped at a restaurant to buy dinner and unfortunately got into a serious traffic accident.

“I feel sorry for my child, but I can’t do anything. I have a mental illness. Whenever there is a storm, my legs start to cramp and I get all kinds of illnesses. Que has to do everything, and she has to work everywhere to earn money to pay for her mother’s medicine. Now she is in a coma, and we don’t know if she will live or die. To save Que, the doctor said that brain surgery is a good chance. But now the family doesn’t know where to get the money for the surgery. Why didn’t God take me away so that my child could live? I feel so sorry for her!” Mrs. Huong said in despair.

These past few days, Mrs. Huong had to stay at the hospital to take care of Que, and had to ask Mrs. Ha Thi Doai - Que's aunt - to come over to the house regularly to clean and cook rice to bring to the hospital to supply Mrs. Huong. Talking about the family situation of Mrs. Huong and her children, Mrs. Doai said: “The situation of Mrs. Huong and her children is extremely difficult, the old tiled house is exposed to the sun and rain inside and out. There are no valuable items in the house to sell, only an electric rice cooker and an old gas stove to serve daily needs. Every time Mrs. Huong goes to the hospital for treatment, her relatives and neighbors encourage her, some give 100,000 VND, some give 50,000 VND to help Mrs. Huong with medicine. Now Que is in critical condition, the family does not know where to get a large amount of money for surgery. We only hope that benefactors and philanthropists will help and support the family so that Que can overcome this critical condition.”
