Nguyen Dac Son and his parents at the hospital
His family had already sold everything they could and borrowed money to treat him. After nine operations and eight blood dialysis sessions, Son's situation has improved but he still needs long-term and costly treatment. It already cost them VND600m (USD26,000) after one month in the hospital. However, his family had run out of money and thought of bringing him home several times.
After knowing his story, readers donated VND102,755,000 to Son via Dantri Newspaper. Many people have called and donated to his family directly.
"Many people sent us money, gifts and food. Some people sat with us for hours and encouraged us even though we had just met then," said Nguyen Dac Linh, Son's father.

"I'm only a farmer and don't know how to express my feelings. We thought Son wouldn't be able to overcome this," Linh said. "Thanks to everyone that we have today."
