Ms. Tri said that one afternoon in 2013, while her family was preparing dinner, a sick old man suddenly appeared and whispered: "Please let me stay with your family." Without hesitation, she agreed and welcomed him into her house.

After a few days of staying, the old man suddenly fell ill and was bedridden for three months. With the dedicated care of Tri and her children, his health gradually recovered. The day he was able to stand up and walk again, Tri remembered being very happy. However, when asked, the old man could barely remember his own situation.

Tri's family situation is also very difficult. In 2006, her husband went to work abroad and unfortunately died in an accident, leaving her with 3 young children. She alone shouldered the housework, worked a few more acres of sugarcane, and did whatever jobs were available to earn money for her children's education.Her two eldest children have finished university, but her youngest daughter was studying at the College of Finance and Banking but had to drop out due to difficult economic conditions.
