The teacher did good deeds to repay life's kindness.

In 2003, Ms. Ly's daughter was diagnosed with congenital hemolytic anemia. Since then, every 20 days, she has taken her daughter for check-ups, transfusions, and dialysis. The cost of each treatment is enormous, depleting their family's finances. During their treatment journey, there were times when Ms. Ly and her daughter had no money at all. Their daily meals depended on charitable meals provided by benefactors. Once, after a check-up and receiving medication, the doctor discharged them. With no money left, Ms. Ly and her daughter didn't know how to get home. Seeing their plight, the other patients in the ward each contributed a small amount of money for their bus fare.

Ms. Ly is appealing for support to provide new backpacks for underprivileged students.

"They were struggling people, spending months in the hospital caring for their relatives, so their finances were depleted. I was very grateful and felt guilty receiving that money. I asked for their contact information to find a way to repay them, but they all refused. Since then, I've been determined to call for and support those in even more difficult circumstances to repay them and give back to society," Ms. Ly recalled.

In the following days, Ms. Ly collected old clothes, books, and other supplies to donate to ethnic minority people and students. Through relatives and friends, Ms. Ly's meaningful actions spread to many places. Whenever she went to teach or on weekends, she and her husband would bring along some charitable items to donate to people and students in disadvantaged areas.

In early 2022, Ms. Ly's husband passed away from esophageal cancer. Since then, she has single-handedly shouldered the burden of supporting her family and paying off a debt of over 200 million VND. Despite struggling with daily life, Ms. Ly never forgets to do good deeds to give back to society.

For many years, twice a week, Ms. Ly has made sure to arrive at school earlier than usual to distribute breakfast to her students. Sometimes it's bread, other times sticky rice or steamed buns... helping hundreds of children in the highlands fill their stomachs. "There were times when, after doing volunteer work, people would give me a pumpkin, some vegetables, or a fish when I returned. These gifts are very simple, but they truly move me. Giving is happiness," Ms. Ly shared.

Mr. Le Xuan Quang, Principal of Ya Xier Primary and Secondary School, said that although Ms. Ly had only been teaching at the school for a short time, she had already mobilized a television to provide the school with additional learning equipment, and collected 50 bags of cement to repair the school gate and yard. In addition, she also appealed for support and donated backpacks and clothes to many disadvantaged students at the school. "Ms. Ly's actions are very meaningful and she is a shining example for everyone to learn from and emulate," Mr. Quang said.
