DtiNews readers have donated VND41 million (USD1,952) to an orphaned girl in the central province of Quang Binh who now has to take care of her younger brother with mental health issues.

Mai Thi Luc, 13 years old, in Ba Don District’s Quang Loc Commune has become the family pillar after her mother died of brain tumour early this year. Earlier, in 2009, her farther died in a traffic accident.

Luc and her younger brother who is facing mental dieases

Just 13 days after her mother’s death, her younger brother also died of a traffic accident, leaving her with the responsibility to take care of for another younger brother who was born with mental health problems.

Her paternal and maternal parents passed away already, meanwhile, her relatives are very poor too, so no one can help her.

The girl had to leave the school to stay at home to take care of her sick younger brother. The children live in a temporary tent which can collapse at anytime.

The donation of VND41 million presented to the girl

After the article about the girl’s condition was published on Dan Tri, many donors have sent their money to help her.

On July 20, a DtiNews reporter in Quang Binh Province directly presented the donation of VND41 million for the orphaned girl. Along with the assistance from the neighbours, the girl can afford to build a new house.

If you can help them, please donate through
