Female delivery driver carries her 1-year-old child while traveling to make a living.

At 5:50 AM, Ms. Phuong Muoi May (26 years old, residing in Hanoi ) hurriedly woke up, fed her 1-year-old daughter breakfast, and then took her to daycare.

Wearing her orange delivery uniform, Ms. May hurried along, eating a quick sandwich as she began another long workday, just like any other.

"Every day, I work from 7 am to 11 pm before going home, leaving almost no time for rest or self-care. It's tough, but to raise my children, I have to overcome it," Ms. May said with a chuckle.

Recently, Ms. May gained attention on social media after posting several videos showing her and her 1-year-old daughter making a living on the streets. In the videos, the little girl smiles brightly when she hears her mother calling her name, and occasionally, she dozes off in the cart, which has evoked feelings of pity from netizens.

The aforementioned clips have attracted hundreds of thousands of views and tens of thousands of interactions. In the comments section, many people expressed their sympathy for Ms. May and her daughter.

A user named DH shared: "I love how hard Mom works out, but her child is always clean and tidy. Let's both keep trying!"

HC's account stated: "Seeing the child so happy to be with her mother. Perhaps the mother is in difficult circumstances, which is why she has to take her child along to earn a living like this. I feel very touched."

Ms. May confided that in 2021, for various reasons, she divorced her husband while she was about 5 months pregnant. Growing up in a family in the mountainous region of Ha Giang, with not-so-well-off circumstances, Ms. May decided to move to Hanoi with her pregnant belly to make a living and earn money to support her child.

Each day, she can earn 400,000-500,000 VND from her job as a delivery driver.

Even when she was close to giving birth, Ms. May still tried to work delivering goods to earn extra money. After giving birth in her hometown for more than three months, this woman brought her newborn baby back to the city to continue working.

The mother and daughter lived in cramped conditions in a rented room in Hanoi. Every day, Ms. May would look at her daughter and tell herself that she had to try harder.

In the morning, Ms. May would drop her child off at daycare. At 4 PM, she would pick her up, go home to feed the baby until 6 PM, and then take the baby with her to deliver goods. Before the baby could sit up, Ms. May would carry her in a sling on her chest.

"Now that my baby is one year old, I bought her a front-seat car seat. Sometimes I feel so sorry for her when I see her dozing off, but I don't feel at ease leaving her at home," Ms. May shared.

The young mother confided that sometimes, while driving, tears would fall without her realizing it. "I feel so lonely and sad because I have to do everything alone. But after crying, it's over. Seeing my child smile, I suddenly feel motivated and ask myself why I cried," she said, her voice choked with emotion.

It seems that Ms. May's daughter understood her mother's hardships, so throughout the journey accompanying her, the little girl never cried. Seeing Ms. May and her daughter going out to earn a living, many customers expressed admiration and sympathy, and occasionally gave the little girl cakes, candies, and money.

"My child's journey of growing up is long, and I know I have to strive every day for a better future for her. I plan to save enough money to go to vocational school, so I can have a stable job and have more time for my child later," Ms. May said.
