Nguyen Minh Phong, just 14, had to drop out of school at age 11 to help his father burn charcoal in the forest — the only way they survive. His father, Mr. Duong, suffers from untreated tuberculosis and earns barely $120/month. Their mother left years ago.
Phong is a kind, hardworking boy who never complained — until two months ago, when he could no longer walk due to unbearable hip pain. He was diagnosed with hip joint necrosis, a serious condition that requires urgent surgery in Saigon.
But Phong's family has no savings. Every day, he lies at home in pain, unable to move, while his father watches helplessly.
Your donation, no matter how small, can give Phong the ability to walk again — and the chance to reclaim his child
hood.
