Old age and weak health, raising a mentally ill son alone, even the only property - the house, was also destroyed by the storm.

Born and raised in the poor land of Nghi Xuan, Ha Tinh, Mr. Vo Hong Thang unfortunately suffered from mental illness. No job, no wife and children, the man lives alone in a dilapidated house waiting for a piece of food from his 72-year-old father.

Previously, Mr. Thang lived in a severely degraded house and lacked enough roads. In 2020, storm hit Ha Tinh again, causing the only house to cover the rain and sun for the father and son to collapse and have to be rebuilt briefly for temporary accommodation.

Inside the house, the electrical wires are messy, the furniture is also dusty and messy, and the tile roof has long been dilapidated. The clinging poverty prevented the father and son from repairing the house more firmly for the coming flood seasons.

Listening to the wishes of Mr. My's and Mr. Thang's family desire to have a new house to cover the rain and sun, the Fatherland Front Committee of Xuan Hoi Commune and the Fatherland Front Committee of Nghi Xuan District and Vietlott decided to give more than 70 million VND to support the family to build a new house.

At the groundbreaking ceremony to build houses, in December 2020, Mr. Vo Van Thang, Chairman of the Fatherland Front Committee of Xuan Hoi commune was excited: “I feel very grateful to the company for sponsoring the money for households. If the poverty level reaches more than 70 million, the dreamer never actually gets it. For many years now, people in difficult circumstances have to place to stay, I see the joy of the local government that cannot be said, the joy of the household has been, dreamed for many years, and only now can get it. ”

Thang's new house has an area of ​​​​50m2, which was started in October 2020 and has now been completed. At the handover ceremony, for the first time a happy smile appeared on the old father's lips after so many hardships and difficulties. With a new solid and safe house, Mr. Thang and Mr. My will somewhat stabilize their lives and feel more secure for the rainy and stormy seasons.
