Nguyen Dinh Cam Tien is a student who will enter Grade 5 at Mai Thuc Loan Primary School. She comes from a poor family facing many hardships. Her family has five members: her mother, Ms. Dinh Thi Thuy; Cam Tien and her younger sibling, who will enter Grade 4; and her elderly grandparents, both of whom suffer from chronic health problems.
The family owns no farmland and relies on only 1,500 square meters of rice fields, cultivated twice a year, making their income unstable. Cam Tien's grandfather has lived with severe complications since a traffic accident more than 20 years ago. He lost bladder function and must use a permanent urinary catheter. Her 76-year-old grandmother suffers from cervical spine degeneration and fractured her hip after a fall three months ago. She still has great difficulty walking. Both grandparents depend on a small social allowance.
To support the family, Ms. Thuy grows rice and collects banana leaves using a livelihood loan provided by Thien Chi Center. Besides earning a living, she must also care for her elderly parents and raise her two children. The family's average monthly income is only VND 962,000 per person, which is insufficient to cover basic living and educational expenses.
Cam Tien's family sincerely appeals to generous donors to support her with a monthly scholarship of VND 300,000. This meaningful assistance will help her purchase school supplies, continue her education, and ease part of the financial burden on her family.
The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude for your kindness, generosity, and support.
