Pham Trong Sach
Long Bien, Hanoi
Eighty-two-year-old Mr Pham is elated to attend the Wheelchair Ceremony. The elderly man spoke with much enthusiasm and sadness as he shared stories about his family and his war experiences.
Mr Pham Trong Sach is a patriotic man who believes in fighting for the freedom of his country. His wife also shared
the same passion. Both the husband and wife devoted their lives serving the army to fight for the independence of Vietnam. In 1994, he left his wife and his newborn son to join the army. A year later, his wife followed his footsteps, and left his young baby in the care of their elderly mother.
Wiping the tears from his wrinkled face, Mr Pham shared his memories of his deceased wife and son. His wife was a soldier in Dien Bien Phu battlefield before she was killed while trying to fight at the fort. His son who joined the army at the young age of 18 years old also died at the battlefield.
Today, Mr Pham lives alone in Long Bien District, Hanoi. Despite his painful loss of his beloved ones, he remains optimistic. He was the head of the war veterans and was crowned the model citizen of Long Bien district. However, age has taken its toil and Mr Pham has not been able to move around freely on his own. His limited mobility has prevented him from visiting his friends and relatives, confining him within the walls of his home.
The gift of the wheelchair is especially meaningful and significant for him. He said, “I am so happy to know that I can have this wheelchair for free. It feels like I have struck a big, big lottery. This wheelchair brings new hope and a lease of new life to me. I can go out to see my friends or attend any important meeting of my district. Special thanks to my sponsor for giving me an invaluable gift that will help integrate me back into the society again. Thank you so much!”
