Receiving the gift from Dantri readers in the days leading up to Tet, Ly Thanh Minh, 65, said he was deeply moved. He said his family would use the money to buy food for the holiday and give small gifts to his grandchildren.
Minh’s family is classified as poor in the locality. Both he and his wife are in poor health, while their children live far away and also face financial difficulties.
