Ms. Vi Thi Lien, An's grandmother, said, "After An's story was published on Nghe An Electronic Newspaper, many kind-hearted people called to share and directly visit the family. Although they did not know each other, many people in Vinh also came to the hospital where An was being treated to visit, give gifts, and give money. In addition to treating An, doctors and nurses at Nghe An Children's Hospital also bought water mattresses for An to lie on to relieve pain, some bought milk, etc. I really don't know what else to say, my family is grateful to Nghe An Electronic Newspaper, grateful to kind-hearted people near and far who promptly shared with the family in times of difficulty and hardship."

Before that, at about 6 pm on July 25, Mrs. Lien was cooking dinner. An went to a friend's house to play. After a while, An's friend called An over to show him something surprising. An approached, and this friend lit a cotton ball on fire and held it close to the mouth of the gasoline bottle. The gasoline bottle exploded, and his friends quickly ran away. An, who couldn't run in time, was engulfed in flames. Hearing the children's cries, Lo Van Giang, who lives nearby and is also An's uncle, rushed over. After putting out the fire, An's family quickly took him to the Tuong Duong District Medical Center for emergency treatment. Due to the severity of the injury, after first aid, the child was transferred to Nghe An Maternity and Pediatrics Hospital. Here, doctors said that An suffered burns to 70% of her body. |
It is known that Lo Ha An's family is in a very difficult situation, one of the poorest households in the commune. Due to the family's circumstances, An's parents have to work far away all year round, and the money they earn is just enough to eat. The doctor concluded that his burns were very serious, so he had to undergo long-term treatment. The cost was also very high. Due to their poor family background, Lo Van Son and Ha Thi Chin's family, Lo Ha An's parents, really need the help of kind-hearted people from the community.
