Phuoc Loc has just completed 8th grade with excellent results at Luong Hoa Lac Secondary School (Cho Gao district, Tien Giang province).

Journey to fight disease

When Hoi Loc was 3 years old, his family discovered something unusual about his health. Taking him to many hospitals, the diagnosis shocked his parents: their son had Hemophilia B (blood clotting disorder).

The months of living with illness and pain have been tormenting you ever since. Even changing baby teeth for Loc is not as simple as other children. Every time he changes teeth, Loc has to be hospitalized for a whole week so that the doctor can monitor him, to prevent complications so that if anything happens, they can be treated promptly.

The worst was during the COVID-19 pandemic. During that difficult time, Loc suffered a ruptured blood vessel in his neck, bleeding in both his knee and hip joints, forcing him to undergo continuous plasma transfusions for 10 days.

The father went to the hospital to take care of his son and both father and son contracted COVID-19. Loc was in a deep coma and was on anti-plasma. The whole family was devastated.

So, like a miracle, or maybe it was his willpower and desire to live that was so strong that Loc gradually regained consciousness. But after that time, Loc could not move his limbs.

The doctor predicted that you would be paralyzed for life. But you are alive, and there is no gift more precious to a parent than that.

Mother and son were determined not to give up. Mother found a place to take Loc to physical therapy regularly. Once again, a miracle seemed to smile because after a period of persistent practice, Loc was able to walk again although still very weak. Mother stayed at home, becoming her son's support in all activities and movements.

Mom is always on the way to school

Now that only the father is a freelance worker, life is even more difficult because the mother can hardly work.

Not only does she take Loc to school, every day when she puts her son in class, she also sits in the hallway waiting so that when he needs her, she will be there right away.

During recess, my mother tries to take me out to the yard, helping me walk step by step to help me exercise and feel better.

Regardless of rain or shine, my mother is always by my side on the way to school, and she is always on time. My mother's day starts with waking up early to prepare dinner for the whole family before taking her son to school.

Despite his illness, Loc always wanted to go to school. He didn’t know how his condition would progress, being in and out of the hospital all the time, so whenever he felt better, he took the opportunity to study.

For any student, the result of being an excellent student is already an effort. For Loc, that result is also a journey of redoubled effort. Teachers and friends calling Loc a warrior is probably not an exaggeration. You yourself know that this journey will have many obstacles and difficulties ahead in order to pursue the dream of conquering letters.

As for that poor mother in the countryside, as long as you fight, I will always be with you no matter how difficult the situation is. If you fight, I will fight too. That is not only a commitment but also a goal for mother and child to walk together.

Life may never have miracles, but I still believe in a brighter tomorrow.

Special care and supervision

Le Phuoc Loc is always taken care of and monitored specially to avoid injury or falls. Because each time it happens, it will have a very bad effect on the disease you are suffering from.

Loc has suffered countless small blood vessel hemorrhages that have left bruises all over his body. The family has also lost count of the number of times their son has suffered from knee hemorrhages that have left him unable to walk.
