The Acting President of Ho Chi Minh City Club and his wife shared the difficulties with the people of Phu Yen, which suffered heavy damage from storm Damrey.

On the morning of November 15, Cong Vinh and his wife, singer Thuy Tien, were in Dong Hoa district, Phu Yen. "We chose Phu Yen because this is the province that suffered heavy damage from storm Damrey," Thuy Tien shared with VnExpress. "I think Khanh Hoa also suffered heavy damage, but it is a central city, and many people came to help, while Phu Yen is more difficult and remote." |

Cong Vinh's wife also said that only by going there can she see the hardships of the people suffering from the consequences of the storm. "Houses have their roofs blown off, people are hungry, have no clothes and have no shelter. We can only contribute a small part and hope that more benefactors will come to help our fellow countrymen," Thuy Tien said. |

Storm No. 12 (international name Damrey) made landfall in the South Central Coast and swept through part of the southern Central Highlands on November 4, killing 27 people, leaving 22 missing, destroying more than 529 houses and blowing off the roofs of 28,070 houses. Phu Yen and Khanh Hoa were the two provinces that suffered the heaviest damage in terms of human lives and property. |
 |
Dong Hoa is a coastal plain district of Phu Yen province, bordering Khanh Hoa. People here mainly depend on the sea for their livelihood, so when storms come, they suffer great damage. |

For families who could not come to the People's Committee headquarters, Cong Vinh and Thuy Tien went there to give support money. The total amount that the couple brought was 550 million VND. This is the amount that Cong Vinh and Thuy Tien's family contributed, in addition to the support of the coaching staff, players, fans of Ho Chi Minh City Club and other sponsors. |

"Depending on the damage of each family, we help them with more or less money. For many families that suffered heavy damage, we support from 45 to 50 million VND," the 31-year-old singer shared. |
