Nguyen Van Duc and his wife Lo Thi Chuong, both 35, from Quynh Nhai District's Ca Nang Commune, had a traffic accident in Hanoi on September 7.
Duc transported Chuong on a motorbike from Son La to Haiphong to visit their children who were staying with Duc's parents. While travelling on Thang Long Avenue in Hanoi, their motorbike hit a truck.

They were left unconscious and were brought to Military Hospital 105. Due to serious injuries, they were sent to Vietnam Germany Hospital and treated for three weeks. However, the couple have just moved to Viet Tiep Hospital in Haiphong to save costs.
Chuong then had her left leg amputated. Meanwhile, her left arm is severely fractured, and doctors are still trying to save it.
Duc is struggling with serious wounds in his left leg and left arm, requiring him to undergo several more operations.
The family recently borrowed VND300 million (USD11,834) for treatment.
The husband has no health insurance card, so his treatment costs are expensive.
Before the accident, the couple worked on construction sites in various locations with modest incomes. They are temporarily staying at Duc's parents' house in Quan Trang Village, An Lao District, Haiphong City.
Because of the family's financial difficulties, the couple's eldest child, Nguyen Van Tai, 10, has had to leave school.
Bui Duc Dien, head of Quan Trang Village, said neighbours had assisted Duc's family, but the number remains small. He hoped that through Dantri/DTiNews, more donors would learn about their condition and help them.
