Hung and his mother now live with Hung’s grandmother, depending on her for food and shelter. Hung’s grandmother is now 70 years old, but still works hard everyday selling nuts and dried fruits at the local market. However this is not enough to support 3 people for food. Occasional Hung’s uncle would help them with some food.
Hung and his mother are among some of the most unfortunate peoples. Not only are they living in poverty but they are also suffering from life threatening medical conditions. When thinking about their situation Hung’s mother does not know what to do, except cry.
Their situation seems almost hopeless, but by chance an HSCV member heard about baby Hung and is now posting this online in hopes that someone can sympathize for them and give them some hope to live.
