Tran Tuan Tu (born in 2011, currently in 8th grade) lives with his family in Lap Son Hamlet, Tan Lap Commune, Lam Dong Province. His mother, Ms. Hoang Thi Ha, originally from Thai Nguyen, has been raising her two children alone after many difficulties in her marriage. The family is currently living in an abandoned house kindly lent to them by a villager along the national highway.
Every day, Ms. Ha wakes up early to cook and sell beef noodle soup, earning about 200,000 VND per day—just enough to cover modest meals for the three of them. On days when she is too exhausted to work, there is no income at all. Tu once suffered from kidney disease; although his health has improved, he is still slower than his peers in learning. Despite having only average academic performance, Tu is diligent, loves his mother dearly, and helps take care of his younger sister. He currently borrows a neighbor’s electric bicycle to take her to school. Tu shared that he wishes to have a bicycle of his own and hopes to afford extra classes in the coming school year.
We sincerely hope that kind-hearted sponsors will support Tu with 300,000 VND per month to help cover his study expenses, so he can continue his education and nurture his dreams.
