My Family

I, my wife in yellow, and the twin girls in pink

Dear Donors,

I am a parent of three children. They are all visually impaired. My wife is also totally blind. I myself use a wheelchair. I am a bread winner of this family, as recently my wife has diagnosed with pneumonic lobe and she stays home. Luckily, all my children are receiving free good education and care from Vi Thuy Home for the Blind. 

I used to run around with my tri-motorbike to beg for inclusive education for my two twin girls, but my poor little girls were refused. Finally I got to know this home via a friend. My boy went to the school first, then my girls went there too. Now my girls are growing up with good behavior, good self-care skills. My girls have learning problems so it takes them years to learn alphabet. Thanks to the sisters and teachers' patience and love, they are learning to read. 

I have a dream for my girls to become IT specialists or English users that help them live a good life in their future. 

With the support of the school, now I am able to sell lottery tickets to feed myself and my wife. We do not have to beg for food and daily expense.

I would like to write my family story to express our sincere thanks to the teachers and sisters, and especially to the donors who are helping the sisters with finance. Your generosity has been a hand to the sisters and to our family. 

Best wishes to you all.
