A journey of sharing every month.

Without fanfare or ostentation, the monthly charitable journeys in Tuyen Thanh commune, Tay Ninh province, begin simply: a few bags of rice, a small envelope, heartwarming words of encouragement... For over three years, the Kien Tuong Sharing Group, with its core members being Red Cross volunteers from the commune, has quietly accompanied and become a "support system" for many vulnerable people in the area.

The journey of over 40 members of the Kien Tuong Sharing Group began with glimpses of seemingly ordinary lives, yet hidden beneath the surface were countless worries of impoverished people. Each stop revealed a unique story, where individuals silently battled illness and hardship, yearning for timely support and sharing.

For example, the family of Ms. Nguyen Thi Nga (residing in Ca Gura hamlet) is unfortunate as both she and her son suffer from end-stage kidney failure, relying mainly on meager social welfare benefits. Severe bouts of illness have exhausted the family, and at this time, the support of a charitable group has helped them overcome this critical period.

"I'm so grateful. There were times when I was struggling and didn't know what to do, but when I saw these kind people come by and give me some money for medicine, I was so happy I almost cried!" - Mrs. Nga shared, her voice choked with emotion.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Nga receives cash at home each month, donated by the Kien Tuong Sharing Charity Group.

Similar to Mrs. Nga's situation is the story of Mrs. Nguyen Thi Ngoc Anh (81 years old), who was born blind. Currently, the elderly couple lives in a small house in Ward 5, Kien Tuong Commune. Since 2022, every month, Mrs. Anh has received 25kg of rice and 300,000 VND from the group. The gift is not large, but it is a "support" that helps the couple live peacefully day by day.

Mrs. Anh confided, "I'm old and frail, and I can't see, so receiving rice and a little money each month makes me so happy. Thanks to the kindness of these ladies, my husband and I are less worried."

Communication bridgeIn remote areas and ethnic minority regions, many legal risks often begin with small everyday matters before escalating into lawsuits, cases, or protracted disputes. Therefore, the media is considered an effective bridge to help people access information early, understand their rights, and know where to find the right support.

When good things are sharedEvery day, thousands of pieces of information appear on social media. Amidst this flow, many stories of kindness, beautiful acts, and positive images are being spread, contributing to nurturing beautiful energy in the community.

What makes the Kien Tuong Sharing Group special is not the amount of money donated, but the enduring spirit of sharing. Each month, members contribute a few tens to a few hundred thousand dong, accumulating a fund of 5-10 million dong.

The money was distributed to seriously ill patients, elderly people living alone, and children with congenital disabilities. Instead of following trends or formalities, the group chose a slow but steady approach, ensuring that those receiving support would not experience interruptions or feel like a burden to anyone.

Ms. Tran Thi Thu, the group leader, said: "The most important thing is consistency, because the sick, the elderly, and the disabled children all depend on us every month. We always review the list, visit their homes to understand their actual circumstances before providing support."

Nguyen Thi My Dung, a member of the group, shared: "Many people told me that just having someone knock on their door and ask how they are doing warms their hearts. During some gift-giving events, we stayed with them longer than planned, just to listen to them and ease their worries."

The Kien Tuong Sharing Volunteer Group distributed rice to support vulnerable people in Kien Tuong ward.

According to Bui Thi Kim Ngan, Chairwoman of the Tuyen Thanh Commune Red Cross Society: “The most valuable aspect of the group is its transparency and ability to support the right people. In the context of many households falling back into poverty due to illness, such voluntary cooperation helps alleviate pressure on the locality and spreads a spirit of compassion.”
