Baby Nguyen Anh Tuyet was discovered to have congenital heart disease when she was just 1 month old. She had a ventricular septal defect and pulmonary hypertension, which was life-threatening. At 9 months old, she had to stay in the hospital for the same amount of time due to heart attacks. Her mother could not do anything as her child spent more time in the hospital than at home. All the burden of earning a living and earning money for medicine to treat her child fell on the young father's shoulders.

Faced with the family's difficult circumstances, the leaders of the District Party Committee, People's Council, People's Committee of Quy Hop District, and groups and individuals inside and outside the province have supported the family with more than 17 million VND to help the family have more conditions to treat the child.
