The Aspiration to Live program supports Ms. Nguyen Thi Hong's family with 178 million VND.

The crew of the program "Aspiration to Live" visited Canh Tien. She had just returned from the hospital and was in poor health, so she could not participate in the outdoor program.

The program is implemented by Dong Nai Newspaper, Radio and Television, the Association for the Support of the Disabled - Orphans and Poor Patients of the province in coordination with Nhat Advertising Joint Stock Company ( Ho Chi Minh City), Tan Phuoc Khanh Steel Company is the main sponsor.

Ms. Hong left her hometown of Hai Duong to start a business in Da Kia commune, hoping to work hard to stabilize her life soon. But her dream had not yet blossomed when in 2015, her husband passed away from nasopharyngeal cancer, leaving her alone with three young children: Bui Duy Nang Vang (2005), Bui Duy Nam (2007) and Bui Duy Canh Tien (2011).

Despite her poor health, Ms. Hong did not dare to rest. During the day, she worked as a hired hand, and at night, she worked hard to scrape cashew nuts to make ends meet. Feeling sorry for her hard-working mother, Nang Vang had to drop out of school early, work as a factory worker, and help her mother raise her younger siblings. The poverty had not yet passed, but disaster struck again. In April 2025, Canh Tien was diagnosed with terminal lymphoma. While taking care of her younger sibling in the hospital, Duy Nam was also diagnosed with lymphadenitis.

A family suddenly fell into despair. No assets, unstable income, exhausted… Ms. Hong did not know how to save her children from the jaws of death.

The program Thirst for Life took place warmly and affectionately at the small house, precariously located in the middle of the cashew forest of Ms. Hong and her four children.

The Aspiration to Live program has connected the community together, providing 178 million VND in support to help Ms. Hong’s family in difficult times and her children have the opportunity to receive medical treatment. In addition to the financial support, Ms. Hong’s family also received essential items.

Head of the organizing committee of the program "Aspiration to Live" Nguyen Duc Tien presented lucky gifts and a symbolic plaque from the benefactor to Ms. Hong and her children.

After reaching an agreement with the family and local authorities, the program's organizing committee allocated 37 million VND to promptly pay hospital fees for Nam and Tien, and 140 million VND will be saved for long-term treatment.

“Thank you to the program and the benefactors for giving my mother and I the opportunity to continue living and giving my family strong faith in a brighter tomorrow,” Ms. Hong emotionally shared.

Philanthropists in Ho Chi Minh City give money to help Ms. Hong's family.

Mr. Nguyen Duc Tien, Head of the Organizing Committee of the program "Aspiration to Live" shared: "At the end of difficulties, kindness and humanity will light up rays of hope. We always accompany Dong Nai Newspaper and Radio and Television to share love, helping the poor have a chance to revive. Hopefully the program will spread more and more so that humane and humanitarian stories reach the community of philanthropists at home and abroad, joining hands for a better society."
