Mr. Dao Van Loan in Tien Tien commune (Hai Duong city) is in a very difficult situation. Although he is old and weak and has no stable job, he still has to struggle to raise his two orphaned grandchildren.
Mr. Dao Van Loan (68 years old) in Tram Bom hamlet, Cap Nhat 3 village, Tien Tien commune (Hai Duong city) is a poor household in the commune. Despite his old age and many illnesses, he still has to raise two orphaned grandchildren.
He and his wife have 5 children, 2 boys and 3 girls. In recent years, his family has been hit by one disaster after another. In 2018, Dao Van Tu (the 4th son, then 34 years old) died of kidney failure. In 2019, his wife died of lung cancer. In 2024, his daughter-in-law (Mr. Tu's wife, 38 years old) also passed away from a stroke.
The pain followed one another, leaving him alone to raise two granddaughters, the older one is Dao Thi Hai Yen (14 years old), currently in grade 9; the second one is Dao Thi Thuy Chi (12 years old), currently in grade 6.
The three grandparents and grandchildren are living in a house that was built over 30 years ago and is now dilapidated. The walls are peeling, moldy, and damp. The household appliances are simple and makeshift.
Mr. Loan has no source of income, and his children are also having financial difficulties. Although he is old and weak, and has stomach and bone diseases, he still tries to go to work. He does whatever job anyone hires him to do, so his income is erratic, and the three of them have a very difficult life.
Mr. Hoang Duc Lam, Deputy Head of Cap Nhat 3 Village, said that Mr. Loan's situation is very difficult, having to bear the brunt of disasters that have befallen him continuously. Now that he is old and sick, he still has to worry about every meal and raising his two young children. "The authorities at all levels and the neighbors have also supported and helped him, but only to a certain extent. I hope that benefactors will help so that Mr. Loan has more money to treat his illness and take care of his two young children's education," said Mr. Lam.
