Hoang Cong Vi and his wife (Duong's parents) worked hard to earn a living so their economy was quite good. A few years ago, they poured most of their money into building a new house and organising a wedding for their son. It seemed that after their daughter finished high school, they would take a rest. Unexpectedly, the accident happened.

Hoang Cong Duong is being treated at the hospital.

One day in July 2019, on the way home from work, Duong met a traffic accident, making him multi-traumatic, including a brain injury. Despite timely emergency and intensive treatment in many hospitals, Duong's health did not show many satisfactory signs.

Currently, he is under treatment at the emergency room A1, the Department of Surgery - Emergency Rehabilitation under the provincial Rehabilitation Hospital. The doctor said Duong is now half-conscious, with quadriplegic paralysis and spastic limbs. He eats and urinates through the sonde. Notably, a part of Duong's brain was sent for cultivation at the Hanoi-based Vietnam-Germany Hospital waiting for a transplant.

Every month, the family has to spend 6 million VND (257 USD) buying medicine to feed this brain part, while the circumstance is very difficult. Duong and his wife were both workers. Right after getting married, they gave birth to three children so when Duong was in distress, he had almost no money for treatment and all expenses are covered by his parents.

Vi and his wife have to borrow money to treat their son. Since the accident happened, Duong has been at the hospital all the time, Vi has to quit his job to take care of the son. Facing the situation, Duong’s wife took the three children to her hometown in Ninh Binh province, leaving her husband with illness.

According to Vi, Duong’s treatment has cost more than 500 million VND (21.400 USD) so far. In the coming time, nearly 100 million VND will be spent on the brain transplant... At present, the family's economy is exhausted. They borrowed money from anyone who could support them and now do not know how to manage to continue the treatment for the son.

Ngo Kim Thanh, head of Ba Mo village, said that Duong's situation is really difficult. The village and communal authorities have mobilized support for him but the fund is too small. “We are looking forward to the support of benefactors to help the family overcome difficulties,” he said.

Any help for Duong, please send to Vi's address (phone number: 0376723471) or Hoang Cong Vi's account number: 2506205349809, Agribank’s Tan Yen branch.
