Representing the patients who received wheelchairs, Mr. Tran Hai Dang, in Ba Vinh hamlet, Hoa Thanh ward, shared: His father, Mr. Tran Van Loi, suffered from a cerebral hemorrhage, which made him weak on one side and had difficulty walking, but due to his family's difficult circumstances, he could not buy a wheelchair. Now that the Provincial Red Cross Society has mobilized donors to donate a wheelchair, he is very touched and grateful for the support and encouragement of the local government. The Society has helped his father have easier means of transportation.

Ms. Pham Thi Sanh, representative of the sponsor, shared: “Giving wheelchairs demonstrates the spirit of mutual love and sharing difficulties with people with disabilities, helping them have useful tools to better integrate into the community. At the same time, it arouses the compassion and joint helping hands of organizations, individuals, businesses, philanthropists and the whole society towards the disadvantaged.”

Mr. Ho Hoang Thong, Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Hoa Thanh Ward, expressed his gratitude to the Red Cross Society and sponsors for their attention, support and companionship with the locality in taking care of the elderly, the sick and the disabled. Mr. Thong hopes that Hoa Thanh Ward will continue to receive the attention, help and companionship of organizations and sponsors to carry out more humanitarian charity activities to help the elderly, the sick and those in difficult circumstances in the ward to improve their lives.

Mr. Le Quoc Van, Chairman of the Provincial Red Cross Society, presented a plaque of recognition for the golden heart and thanked the sponsor.

The wheelchair is a small gift, but has great meaning, to support the elderly, sick people in difficult circumstances to move more conveniently and do personal activities. At the same time, it helps the disabled and the elderly to be more comfortable in their daily lives, reducing dependence on relatives, especially those who are single and have small families.

The remaining 20 wheelchairs will be given by the Provincial Red Cross to localities in the province to promptly reach the elderly, weak, and sick.
