The legs of Le Van Nha (born in 1977) in hamlet 9, Nam Anh commune (Nam Dan) have had muscle atrophy since he was a child, due to climbing a guava tree and falling from a high place. At that time, his family's circumstances were too difficult, not enough money for treatment, so his legs gradually became paralyzed, every time he left the house he had to use a wheelchair.

More than 10 years ago, Le Van Nha studied home electrical repair and then returned to his hometown to work to make a living. But in recent years, household appliances have become cheaper, and when they break down, people often replace them with new ones, so Mr. Nha's repair job is no longer "useful", and his income has gradually decreased.
