Nguyen Van Thanh has colon cancer

Nguyen Van Thanh had to call for community help to overcome the difficulties. He has colon cancer and suffers from constant pain. As his daughter started crying nearby, he tried to reach out to hold her.

"My wife just went out to buy medicines," he said. "The pain is especially crushing today."

Tran Thi Cuong, Thanh's wife, said they met in 2007 and quickly got married afterwards. Thanh doesn't know who his father is and his mother abandoned him at three years old. He lived with his old grandfather. When he got married, his uncle let them live in a small house.

Tran Thi Cuong and her second child

After giving birth to the first child, Cuong was diagnosed with heart disease. She can't do hard work and need heart surgery as soon as possible. However, the whole family depends on the little incomes from selling vegetables, they can't afford heart surgery. In 2014, Thanh fainted and was admitted to the hospital.

"When I was told that he had colon cancer, I felt like I couldn't breathe and I started seeing black. Other people had to bring me to the hospital too," Cuong said.

After going through emergency surgery, Thanh quickly returned to work to support the family and repay the debts.

Cuong's oldest child, Nguyen Thi Hue

In April, their oldest child who is in 6th grade suddenly had high fever and seizures. She has been through three hospitals but her condition hasn't got better. Half of her body was nonresponsive.

Do Van Long, vice head of Nam Trai Village, said, "Thanh's family has been one of our poor cases for years. I was told that their daughter needs long-term and expensive treatment while Thanh hasn't been able to repay hundreds of millions of VND. The local authorities and the school have called for help for them but it was not enough."
