The family of Le Thanh Huy, born in 2011 and Le Thanh Hoang, born in 2009, in Giap Trung village, Duc Bac commune (Song Lo) is in difficult circumstances. Their father died early, their grandmother is old, and their mother alone struggles to raise their two children to study.
Previously, the family of the two children lived in an old, dilapidated house, and due to the impact of storm No. 3, the house was severely damaged. Faced with such difficult circumstances, the Provincial Children's Fund mobilized Vinh Phuc Pharmaceutical Joint Stock Company to support 100 million VND, along with the support and contributions of Party committees at all levels, authorities, units, businesses and people of Duc Bac commune with a total cost of nearly 470 million VND, to help the family build a new house.
