The pitiful family situation of a mute, bedridden young man in Nghe An

Kha Bun Dan (27 years old) is the third child in a family of four children, three of whom are disabled. His mother, Kha Thi May, is also an unusual person. She cannot speak Kinh and is illiterate.

Her first child, Kha Thi Man, was born deaf and autistic, and did not want to interact or communicate with outsiders. Her second child, Kha Thi Nhun, was born mute. Dan was also mute since childhood, however, he could understand what people around him said and work normally.

Mr. Dan was moved from his home by everyone and taken to the hospital.

Mrs. May has no husband. For decades, she and her children have lived in poverty and constant deprivation. The stilt house where her family lives was built with donations from various departments, organizations, local people and border guards.

After a period of use, this charity house on stilts, made of planks and roofed with plywood, has also deteriorated. In that dilapidated house, there are no valuables, no electricity...

Inside the charity house of Mr. Dan and his mother.

A few months ago, Mr. Dan went to work as a housemaid for the villagers, unfortunately had a work accident that resulted in a perforated intestine, and was taken by the villagers to the Ky Son District Medical Center for treatment. However, due to the family's difficult circumstances and not being able to pay the hospital fees, the family took him home.

After that, he was paralyzed in both legs and could not walk, had to stay in bed, and had to rely on his relatives to help him with all his daily activities. Due to lying in one place for a long time, Mr. Dan suffered from necrosis in his buttocks, the wound spread, gouged deep into the flesh and bone, affecting his life.
