These days, all levels, sectors and localities are making efforts to mobilize resources to have the most meaningful gifts to give to the meritorious and the poor, hoping that everyone will have a warm and fulfilling Tet.

Warm and affectionate

On New Year's Day, the house of Mr. Le Van Long, a 1/4 disabled veteran in Hung Dao commune, Hung Nguyen district, was filled with laughter because all his children and grandchildren had returned home. Mr. Long said: "After a lifetime of military service, now returning to my hometown, I can live in the village and enjoy the neighborhood, and have fun with my children and grandchildren. Especially, I am very happy to receive the attention of the local government and social organizations."

His wife, Doan Thi Thoi, is also a 4/4 war invalid. Because of their poor health, whenever he is sick or has a change in weather, Mr. Long receives attention from neighbors and local authorities. Every time he has to go to the hospital to treat a relapse of his old injury, the commune sends people to visit him and provide material and spiritual support. Every time Tet comes, the gifts he and his wife receive are always filled with love.

Besides,near poor households, disadvantaged householdsalso received attention from Hung Dao commune. Mr. Nguyen Van Duy has been a poor household for many years in hamlet 5. His house has been dilapidated for many years. In mid-2024, thanks to support from the commune's Fatherland Front and authorities at all levels, Mr. Duy was supported with 50 million VND to build a new house. However, the cost to build a new house must be around 100 million VND, and he did not know where to raise the remaining amount. Understanding the situation of Mr. Duy's family, the commune's Fatherland Front and the hamlet's Executive Committee mobilized neighbors to help Mr. Duy borrow the remaining amount. The inauguration day of the "dream house" was also the day that Mr. Duy's family cried tears of joy because finally the family had a house to live in, escaped poverty to build a new, better life.

Ms. Vi Thi Noi - policy officer of Hung Dao commune said: "Currently, the commune is preparing 90 gifts, each worth from 500 thousand VND to 1 million VND to give to people with meritorious services and families with especially difficult circumstances in the area. In addition to these gifts, the commune will mobilize more resources from individuals, units, other political and social organizations to have more gifts to give to policy households and those in difficulty during the Lunar New Year."

In addition, there will be more than 200 cases of poor, near-poor, and disadvantaged people who will also be supported during the Lunar New Year. The district plans to spend 4 billion VND in gifts from various sources for policy households during the Lunar New Year. In addition, preferential subsidies, support policies, and Tet gifts for meritorious people, social protection beneficiaries, and poor households must be implemented correctly, sufficiently, promptly, and completed before January 22, 2025 (ie December 23 of the lunar calendar). We are currently mobilizing cadres, civil servants, public employees, and workers to support the implementation of the target of each organization and individual associated with a humanitarian address. Hopefully, it will bring people a warm Tet holiday".

In Do Luong district these days, social organizations and authorities are also reviewing and counting difficult cases and meritorious people to promptly give Tet gifts.

We are trying to make sure that each meritorious person receives the most meaningful gifts. Therefore, in addition to the district budget, we are mobilizing political and social organizations to have more gifts for other policy households, so that everyone can have a warm Tet. With the motto "no one is left behind", Party committees at all levels also care for the families of elderly party members, children in difficult circumstances, the sick, and long-term ill people...
