Vy is the oldest child in a family with 2 sisters, the younger sister is 10 years old. Vy’s parents broke up a long time ago. Currently, my family is living with my grandparents’ house. Eight years ago, Vy’s mother walked again with a man.

Vy’s mother shared about her son’s illness.

“He loves me and my two stepchildren very much. When we first got married, he told us that we were still young, so we shouldn’t have a baby so we could take care of them a little more. Everyone said he owed me a debt.

His parents are also very good, when he saw that he was sick, he called to stay there, because his grandmother lives near the sewer, afraid of not being able to ensure hygiene because Vy’s disease must be kept very carefully.”Vy’s mother confided.

The daughter fell ill, the mother quit her job, went to the hospital to take care of the child, the stepfather maintained the job to earn money in and out, take care of food and expenses for the whole family. Every 4-5 days he goes from Hoc Mon to the hospital in District 1 to visit his children and give things to his wife.

The treatment caused Vy to have facial edema, abdominal distension, abdominal pain if she ate a lot, sometimes high fever, a lot of cough causing headaches, etc. When doing other tests, the doctor also discovered that Vy had an enlarged heart.

Treatment costs are expensive, many items are not covered by insurance, so Vy’s mother does not know how to worry. Just know where to go or go there, try to save your child, there is still hope, even if 1% of life, you have to try to the end.

Vy’s mother said that even though it is difficult, there is 1% left to save her child’s life, she will also try.

But then when she came here, she saw the situation of many fathers and mothers who have children with the same disease as Vy, but they were all optimistic, she realized that being sad would not solve anything.

Vy’s disease is treated in batches, has to go in and out of the hospital continuously, and her mother also determines that the upcoming road will be long.

“I’m a mother, I have to be strong for my baby to be strong. I’m slowly accepting this fact, but I also hope miracles will happen. I also thank everyone, sponsors for helping me. family, this grace I will never be able to repay”, Vy’s mother explained.
