Two sick brothers
Dang Dinh Son, 19, and Dang Dinh Tai, 16, live with their parents in Phuc Dong Commune of Huong Khe District.
Son and Tai began to suffer the condition when they reached four, presenting with big bellies, tumours around their bodies and myasthenia.
Doctors diagnosed rare inborn liver disease.
The family was too poor to get proper medical treatment and their conditioned worsened.
Help from DTiNews readers
Pham Thi Nga stays home to care for her sons, while Dang Dinh Thuan struggles to support his family from farm work.
DTiNews visited the family in May 15 to deliver donations from readers.
“Many people, including foreigners, called us to suggest remedies,” Nga said. “I’ll use the money to pay our sons’ medical treatment with a hope that they will recover.”
