Father burst into tears when his 8-year-old daughter received a surprise birthday party from the Vietnamese Family Home.

In episode 146, the program Vietnamese Family Home moved many viewers with the image of an 8-year-old girl who had undergone 3 heart surgeries, with a simple wish that her mother would always be healthy and live with her family. The image of the father bursting into tears when his daughter unexpectedly celebrated her birthday made everyone who witnessed it choke up.

Do Thi Phi Dung (2010), a 10th grade student at Hiep Duc High School, is currently living with her parents and younger sister in Hiep Duc commune, Da Nang city.

Despite her poor family background, Phi Dung always tries to study hard and dreams of having money to pay for her parents' medical treatment, so that she and her younger sister can continue to go to school.

My father, Do Ngoc Hung (born in 1970), has osteoarthritis in his knees, making it difficult for him to walk. His legs are limping, making him unable to do heavy work. Although his condition has gotten worse and doctors have advised him to be hospitalized, Hung has refused because he does not have the money for treatment. In addition, he has cataracts in both eyes, which he has just had surgery for and is in the recovery phase.

Phi Dung’s mother, Dang Thi Ha (1977), suffered a stroke and has been paralyzed on one side for the past 7 years. Because his wife is bedridden and unable to do anything, despite having many illnesses, Hung still has to work hard to take care of the whole family.

The family’s only source of income depends on a sow raised by Mr. Hung. Every 4 months, a litter of piglets is sold. When the price is good, each pig can be sold for about 500,000 VND, but when the price drops, it is only 200,000 VND/pig. In addition, the commune has just given the family a cow to improve their economy .

Phi Dung’s younger sister, Do Thi Thu Hien, is currently in 2nd grade and is in poor health due to congenital tricuspid valve disease. Hien has had 3 sponsored heart surgeries. Although her condition has improved, her physical condition is still weak and she cannot do strenuous activities. Every time the weather changes, she has difficulty breathing and often faints. Hien’s small dream is to have her parents organize a birthday party and receive gifts, because she has never had a complete birthday since she was little.

Mr. Do Ngoc Hung could not hide his emotions when he witnessed his daughter's simple wish come true - to celebrate her birthday and receive gifts.

The family of four has three sick members and an unstable income, so life is always difficult. Vegetable meals are the family's regular menu. Seeing her father's hardship, Phi Dung once wanted to quit school to work to help, but because she was still young, she couldn't do much. She also understood that studying was very important, so she always tried her best every day. Phi Dung's biggest wish was to have some money to treat her father and mother's illness and for her two sisters to continue going to school.

At the studio, the Vietnamese Family Home crew unexpectedly prepared a cake and held a birthday party for Do Thi Thu Hien, fulfilling a wish she had longed for. Seeing the frail girl celebrate her first birthday, along with her prayers for her mother's health so that the whole family could be together for a long time, moved many viewers.

Mr. Do Ngoc Hung, who has single-handedly supported his family through many difficult years, could not hold back his tears when he saw his little daughter in simple joy. He burst into tears, both happy and heartbroken at his daughter’s prayer for the family.

MC Dai Nghia could not hide his emotion when he saw the little girl who had undergone three heart surgeries. He shared: “Looking at her sparkling eyes as she blew out the candles, I felt the pure joy she had never had. But behind that smile was a painful journey for both her and her family. The Vietnamese Family Home not only brought a birthday party, but also an opportunity for the family to feel the sharing from the community . ”

The first birthday cake in Do Thi Thu Hien's life.

At the end of the program, Do Thi Yen Nhi's family ranked third, receiving a prize of 18 million VND. Do Thi Phi Dung's family came second with 22 million VND. First prize went to Cao Ngoc Bao Chau's family, with a total prize of 62 million VND.

In addition, artists Quoc Anh, Kieu Loan, and Duc Phuc also donated 65 million VND from their own pocket to the families. Actor Quoc Anh also gave each family a new bicycle so that the children could have a more convenient means of transportation to school. Mr. Tran Dinh Phuong - Deputy General Director of Bee Media Company gave Phi Dung's family an additional 5 million VND. In addition, when accompanying her daughter to the recording of the program Vietnamese Family Warmth, the mother of runner-up Lona Kieu Loan also joined in the atmosphere of the program, joining hands with the audience to donate to support the characters.

After the support of the artists and donations from the audience and benefactors, the total amount of money the program sent to all 3 families was more than 420 million VND. Of which, 102 million VND was a bonus from Hoa Sen Group .

Cao Ngoc Bao Chau's family won first place.

Do Thi Phi Dung's family came in second.

Do Thi Yen Nhi's family returned home.
