Faith Group supports mother and children living in cowshed

(Baonghean.vn) - On December 31, on the occasion of welcoming the new year 2018, the Faith Volunteer Group visited and gave gifts to two families in difficult circumstances in Thanh Lam commune - Thanh Chuong.

The two families the group visited were Ms. Phan Thi Thang's family in Trieu Long 2 hamlet and Ms. Tran Thi Tu's family in Tan My hamlet, Thanh Lam commune. These are two families in extremely difficult circumstances.

Ms. Phan Thi Thang has two young children who are just starting elementary school. Her husband died of a serious illness two years ago, but she and her two children were abandoned by her husband's family, so Ms. Thang and her children had no place to go and had to return to her parents' house.

Thang's mother's family was also poor, there was no place for her and her children to stay, so she and her children had to live in the cowshed. In addition, for several years she had been sick frequently, so the family's situation was extremely dire.

Sympathizing with her situation, the group supported her with a gift worth 30 million VND so that she and her children could build a new house, their children could have a place to study, and life would be less difficult.

Also in Thanh Lam commune, the single-parent family of Ms. Tran Thi Tu from Tan My hamlet also received support from the group. Ms. Tran Thi Tu got married for 1 year and then divorced. Because she had no place to live, she took her 1-year-old child and went to her mother's house to live.

Her child was sick since birth; on top of that, he had two broken legs in an accident. All of her savings went with him to the hospital.

Sharing her situation, the Faith group supported her and her child with 20 million VND in the hope that she would have some capital to do business and improve her life. Photo: Khoi Nguyen
