Hoang Ha Thu. 21
Hai Ba Trung District, Ha Noi
A motorbike accident in 2003 caused a 17-year-old to become paralysed, changing her life completely. For a young lady, this was a high price to pay. Ha Thu was devastated by her sudden handicap; tears became her only form of relief and consolation.
From an independent child, she became completely reliant on her family members for her daily basic needs, such as bathing and eating. Her mother had to forsake work to stay home to take care of her. Now, she is living with her parents and two younger siblings. As the oldest child in the family, she is unfortunately unable to provide for her family due to her physical limitations.
Though life is hard on this young gal, she is always brave to face these challenges.
Hoang Ha Thu will turn 21 years old this year. Her birthday wishes are simple – To be able to move around on her own, to be a tailor and find a job to help support her family.
The wheelchair makes a great birthday present for her. With this wheelchair comes freedom, independence and mobility. She can finally regain these intangible things that she has lost since the accident and engage in her favourite leisure activities, such as shopping and visiting her friends.
With tears welled up in her eyes, she said, "Today, I feel very happy to come here and receive this wheelchair. I would like to say a big “thank you”, for helping me, and for giving me more will-power and encouragement to live on."
