The boy who became the breadwinner of the family at the age of 16

COVID-19 has passed, leaving difficulties in many aspects of life, including more than 2,500 children across Vietnam becoming orphans. Among them, there are children who are forced to grow up before their time when the most loved ones suddenly pass away. In Ho Chi Minh City, Nguyen Duc Bao – a boy in grade 11 who is facing many ambitions in life, must also become the breadwinner of his family at the age of 16.

In August 2021, Duc Bao’s parents died due to the COVID-19 epidemic. Before the sudden departure of his parents, the 16-year-old became the breadwinner of the family, taking care of the housework and learning how to take care of Hai, who had Down syndrome since childhood.

After going through the difficult days of the epidemic, Duc Bao has now returned to school. Having received the love of learning Mathematics from his father – a math teacher, Duc Bao is still improving his math skills day by day with the help of his school teachers to develop better in the future.

Wishing to give wings to this young, energetic and optimistic young man, VPBank decided to accompany him to paint his future by studying with the gift of a savings book worth 100 million VND.

The spiritual encouragement, sharing the economic burden will be the motivation for the Bao brothers to look to the future and continue writing hopeful songs of life.
