Four-year-old Truong and his mother at Hue Central Hospital
Truong is a four-year-old boy who was recently diagnosed with a heart defect and difficulty in breathing. MEDRIX will partner in sponsorship for him to have surgery.
He has both a brother and a sister, and lives in a district far from the hospital. Truong’s father and mother brought him over 320 miles to the Hue Central Hospital for this surgery.
Truong’s father, a farmer, arrived barefoot and with only a few belongings. They had no place to stay and no money for food and housing. MEDRIX assisted in the sponsorship of Truong’s surgery and emergency needs.
The mother and father will stay in the hospital dormitory for parents, and will use the emergency funding for food, medicine and a ticket home by train after Truong’s surgery.
