Mrs. Luong Thi Luu in Phu Thinh 4 residential group, Van Phu ward, had a husband who was a martyr who died in the resistance war against the US. Before having a new house like today, the martyr's wife, now 85 years old, used to live in a small wooden house built more than 40 years ago.
Throughout her life, Mrs. Luu cherished two big dreams: One was to find and bring her husband's remains back to his hometown; the other was to have a spacious house to have a solemn place to worship her husband.
Now, one of his two dreams has come true. Since mid-2024, the 65 m2 ground-floor house that he has always dreamed of has been realized thanks to the support of the Provincial Association for Supporting Families of Martyrs.
Veteran Dong Quang Hung, Chairman of the Provincial Association for Supporting Families of Martyrs, shared: "As soon as we learned about Mr. Luu's situation, we quickly visited the family and quickly implemented a plan to support him in building a new house."
With support of 80 million VND from the Air Defense - Air Force, the Association coordinated with the local government, mass organizations and the help of Mr. Luu's family to complete the house worth nearly 200 million VND.
Mr. Luu shared: “In the past, the State supported me with 50 million VND to build a house, but I did not dare to accept it because I did not have the corresponding money. Now, thanks to the veterans in the Association for Supporting Families of Martyrs, my family has a solid house, I really could not ask for anything more.”
Mrs. Ta Thi Nhat (born in 1923, Binh Tra residential group, Au Lau ward) is the mother of a martyr. The wooden house she lived in has existed for 70 years and is very degraded. Like Mrs. Luu, Mrs. Nhat's family also refused the government's support to build a house because they could not afford the corresponding money.
Comrade Dong Quang Hung said: “When we met Mr. Nhat, he was already 100 years old. We could not hesitate in building a house for him!”
With their utmost efforts, the veterans quickly connected with a benefactor to support the family with 180 million VND to build a new house.
Supporting martyrs' families to build houses is a meaningful activity that the Provincial Association for Supporting Martyrs' Families has carried out over the years, as a practical way to show gratitude to martyrs who sacrificed for the Fatherland.
During that process, a lot of time and effort was spent by veterans to verify the circumstances of the martyrs' families; select the most suitable support objects; mobilize and connect many organizations and kind-hearted individuals to help and support...
Whenever we receive information about families of martyrs facing housing difficulties, we go there to understand the family's circumstances and conditions, and coordinate with local authorities to come up with the best possible support plan, from which we can plan to connect and mobilize benefactors to join hands to help with funding for building houses.
Since 2018, the Lao Cai Province Association for Supporting Families of Martyrs has supported the construction of 144 houses for 144 families of martyrs. On average, each house is supported with 50 - 60 million VND, with some houses supported at 150 or 180 million VND.
Each completed house is a dream come true for a martyr's family.
Mr. Hoang Anh Gan in Ba Khe village, Cat Thinh commune, the son of a martyr, just got a new house and said: "Thanks to the Association for Supporting Families of Martyrs and the care and help of the local government, my family has been able to build a new, spacious house, and is able to live a stable life."
With dedication and effort, the veterans in the Provincial Association for Supporting Families of Martyrs are a bridge of affection between philanthropists and families of martyrs, not only building new houses but also fostering warmth and gratitude for the sacrifices of families of martyrs to the Fatherland.
