I hope good luck will come!

Trang's mother left when she was just over 3 years old. The two sisters lived with their father in a makeshift house by the canal. About two years ago, relatives gave them a piece of land, and neighbors helped build a house for the three of them to protect them from the rain and sun. Little Trang recounted: “Our house didn't have beds; Dad slept on the floor on a sheet of plastic. When Dad went to work, I cooked, washed dishes, and did laundry for him and my sister. In the evenings, Dad often bought us cakes and fruit. On days when he didn't work, he would pick us up from school early.” But now, even those simple things are gone because their father passed away about two months ago due to a serious illness. The children are too young to fully understand and feel the pain of loss and the lack of parental love. Looking at them, so innocent, everyone feels heartbroken.

Baby Le Thi Trang (on the right) has a congenital heart defect and needs surgery to stabilize her health.

Unable to bear leaving her two granddaughters in the empty house beside their father's portrait, Ms. Le Thi Kim Cuc, their aunt, took them in to care for them and fill the void in their young hearts. However, Ms. Cuc's biggest worry now is Trang's health. Previously, Trang often complained of fatigue and paleness, and her aunt thought it was due to their impoverished circumstances. After her father's death, Trang coughed frequently and sometimes became extremely weak. Upon examination, it was discovered that she had a congenital heart defect and needed immediate surgery to prevent heart failure.

Trang has undergone one surgery and is temporarily out of danger, but she needs to wait for her health to improve before undergoing several more interventions to be stable. In addition to congenital pulmonary artery stenosis, Trang's heart has a defect that needs monitoring.

While chatting with us, Mrs. Cúc hurriedly drove off after receiving a phone call. Over 60 years old, she still tries to earn a living by driving a motorbike taxi; her husband sells lottery tickets. Their combined income barely covers their daily expenses. Therefore, the cost of Trang's heart surgery is far beyond their means. Mrs. Cúc confided: "Being an orphan is already a hardship, and now she's sick too. She's my granddaughter, so I can't abandon her. As long as I have my health, I'll try my best to earn money for her surgeries, until she's completely cured!"

"I'll study hard to make Aunt Tư happy," Trang's words tugged at the heartstrings of those who heard them. Though carefree and innocent, Trang was aware of her dependent life and felt obligated to be well-behaved and academically successful. When asked about their dreams, both Trang and Diễm said, "I miss my father. I wish he would come back to life, healthy and free from illness."

At the age of 3, they lacked their mother's love; at 10, they lost their father's love and also suffer from a heart condition that poses many health risks. Although they are currently being cared for and protected by their aunt's family and those around them, what future awaits them remains a source of worry and concern for everyone.../.
