A single mother in the southern province of Tien Giang is seeking support to save her daughter who is struggling with a brain tumour. Truong Thi Phuong Dung, 36, from Thien Trung Commune, Cai Be District, got married in 2005. The couple earned modest income from trading chickens and ducks. They had three children, one born in 2007 and two others born in 2012 and 2016 respectively.

In 2011, their eldest daughter drowned. In 2015 while Dung was pregnant with the third child Vo Nguyen Ngoc Han, her husband had a love affair. He then left her. The couple divorced in 2018.

Vo Nguyen Ngoc Han is is struggling with a brain tumour

Dung opened a small restaurant to earn a living, but the business was suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak. In July 2021, Han suffered from severe headaches and vomiting. She was then diagnosed with a brain tumour and underwent surgery at Children’s Hospital 2. During the pandemic, the treatment faced many difficulties. Since then, the girl has experienced several additional operations and chemotherapy treatments. She is facing malnutrition and decreased red, platelet and white blood. At present, the seven-year-old girl weighs only 15.50 kilos. The treatment is quite costly due to some kinds of medicines not being covered by health insurance. Meanwhile, Dung’s father is living with tuberculosis and her mother is struggling with kidney failure.
