Vi Thi Luc, 85, is living with her two daughters and a granddaughter in a small house that has just been built by local authorities. Their life is difficult due to poverty and diseases.
The elderly woman now has to care for her two youngest daughters Ha Thi Loan, 58, and Ha Thi Linh, 49, who have both developed mental problems since their 20s. Linh got married with a daughter but then soon divorced and brought her daughter to live with Luc after her divorce.
Now Linh's daughter, Ha Thi Luan, 24, is the breadwinner of the family. However, her health is also not good. Luan dropped out early and went to work as a home help to support her family. However, she has had to leave work to take care of her elderly grandmother, and her ill mother and aunt.
"Now we don't have any income but have to live on the state subsidy which is only enough to buy simple food," Luan said. "I have to find more vegetables from the local forest for our meals."
Chairman of Nghia Trung Communal People's Committee, Nguyen Long An, said that Luc's family was the most difficult case in his area.
Their new house built by local authorities
"With support from local people, we’ve built a new house for them," the official said. "They’re also receiving a state subsidy but they still face numerous difficulties. We hope that they could receive more support from the public to cover medical treatment."
