Warm home from the heart of a soldier

In hamlet 13, Phu Xuyen commune, there is a family of 7 people including 2 elderly people, 3 middle-aged people and 2 young children. The old man is now nearly 90 years old, 2 members of the family have mental illness and are congenitally mute; the main breadwinner is in poor health and is a single father raising children after his second marriage broke down. Faced with such a difficult situation, the commune police proactively advised the Party Committee and the government to mobilize departments, branches, organizations and benefactors to join hands to support the family to overcome difficulties.

Leaders of Phu Xuyen commune, police force and representatives of organizations visited and encouraged Mr. Ta Van Sung's family.

The family of Mr. Ta Van Sung (born in 1939) and his wife, Mrs. Loc Thi Vuong (born in 1951) have lived in Phu Xuyen for more than half a century. When they were healthy, they worked hard to raise four children. Now, at their "rare" age, constant illness makes their already difficult life even more difficult.

Of the four children of Mr. Ta Van Sung and Mrs. Loc Thi Vuong, the eldest son, born in 1969, suffered from mental illness and was mute since childhood; the daughter, born in 1980, also suffered from the same illness when she reached adulthood; one daughter got married; the youngest son, Ta Van Tuyen, lived with his parents, taking care of daily life and two small children. With little land and garden, and no stable job, Ta Van Tuyen accepted any job that anyone hired him to do, but his income was very unstable, making life very difficult for the family.

Sympathizing with this situation, neighbors often support: some contribute labor, others help clean the house, pick tea or bathe the two sick people.

Through the process of grasping the situation at the grassroots level, Phu Xuyen Commune Police realized that this was a particularly difficult case, with degraded housing, sick members, and almost no ability to improve their lives. From there, the Commune Police coordinated with the Department of Culture and Society to advise the Party Committee and the Commune People's Committee to propose policies and support solutions.

Lieutenant Colonel Luong Quang Thang, Head of the Commune Police, said: The unit has unanimously mobilized officers and soldiers to participate in support; at the same time, mobilized social resources. To date, organizations, individuals and philanthropists have donated nearly 150 million VND to build a new house for Mr. Sung's family.

The local government surveyed the construction progress and promptly completed the housing project to give it to Mr. Ta Van Sung's family.

In early December 2025, with the close direction of the Party Committee, the People's Committee of the commune and the response of the political system at the grassroots level, the housing project for Mr. Sung's family was officially started with 100% socialized resources. The level four house of nearly 100m2 including two bedrooms, a living room and a kitchen is a testament to the local government's determination to care for people's lives.

Mr. Luu Quyet Thang, Vice Chairman of Phu Xuyen Commune People's Committee, said: The commune has mobilized agencies and businesses to contribute so that the project can be implemented smoothly; the goal is to complete it before the Lunar New Year of Binh Ngo, so that families can welcome the new year in a sturdy and cozy house.

Along with supporting the house construction, the Commune Police, the Civil Defense Force, the militia and self-defense forces, and the people in the hamlet contributed dozens of working days to help the family dismantle the old house, level the ground and transport materials, ensuring the progress of the project.

To help the family maintain their living conditions during the construction period, the Commune Police Youth Union and officers and soldiers donated their salaries to buy instant noodles and provided 40kg of rice per month. This support will be maintained until the end of 2030. This practical support has helped Mr. Sung, Mrs. Vuong and Mr. Tuyen's families to some extent ease the constant worries in their lives.

Phu Xuyen Commune Police supported Mr. Ta Van Sung's family with 40kg of rice/month.

Although the local government and Phu Xuyen Commune Police have provided timely support, the difficulties of Mr. Ta Van Sung's family are still there. Mr. Sung and his wife are now old and weak, while the cost of caring for two sick children and raising two young grandchildren is increasing. When the new house is completed, Mr. Sung's family will need to buy more essential items to stabilize their lives...

With such special circumstances, Mr. Ta Van Sung's family really needs the sharing of the community, the companionship of organizations, individuals and philanthropists. The kindness from the community becomes even more precious, not only helping the family overcome the current hardship, but also giving hope for the future for the members, especially the two young children.
