Nguyen Thi Hien and her two daughters
Following her letter to Dantri/Dtinews Newspaper, a reporter recently visited Nguyen Thi Hien, 62, at her home in Ha Nam's Duy Tien District. She was lying in bed, looking tired after returning home from a chemotherapy period.
Her two daughters were chasing each other in the yard. After a while, they came by the mother's bed and yelled with laughter.
Hien tried to sit up, leaning against the wall, and spoke weakly, saying that her daughters were hungry.
"They're both over 30 years old now, but they have mental problems, so behave like children," the mother explained with a sign. "I have a fever today, so I couldn't prepare lunch for them. We're having to wait for a neighbour to come and help."
The poor mother said that she has brought up her daughters alone after divorcing her husband more than 20 years ago. Besides mental problems, both of them were also physically ill when minor and needed constant hospital treatment. Now, at over 30, they still depend on their mother for every personal activity, from bathing to having meals.
"I used to work at a local healthcare centre and earned enough to buy food and medicine for them," she said. "In 2021, I borrowed VND200 million from a bank to build a new house as my old house nearly collapsed. And life has become difficult since I was diagnosed with the last stage of breast cancer in 2022."
The woman said that her health is worsening while she recently could not afford hospital treatment, and she was apprehensive about the future of her two daughters.
Speaking to Dantri/Dtinews, Nguyen Van Duc, vice chairman of the Yen Nam Commune People's Committee, said that local authorities and neighbours have tried to help Hien, but their support has remained modest due to a lack of funding.
"We hope that Hien will receive more help from the community to continue her treatment and support her daughters.
