The dream of becoming a pharmacist and the torn shirt my mother gave me touched people's hearts in "Vietnamese Family Home"

Father suffered a traumatic brain injury, mother shouldered all the worries alone

The first situation that made many people choke up was Le Minh Hieu (2016), a 4th grade student at Quang Thai Primary School. He currently lives with his parents and older sister in Dan Dien commune, Hue city.

Minh Hieu's family life was already not well-off, and in 2024 it became even more difficult when his father, Le Kim (1980), unfortunately had a serious traffic accident, resulting in a traumatic brain injury and leaving him bedridden. Although the locality and philanthropists raised 200 million VND for treatment, a miracle did not happen. Kim could not recover as before, and now has to sustain his life with medical expenses of up to 4 million VND per month.

Even though they were young, Minh Hieu and his sisters knew how to help their mother and support the family together after their father's incident.

The entire burden of the family now falls on the shoulders of Van Thi Hoa (1980) - Minh Hieu's mother. Since the incident, Hoa has been forced to put aside all her work to stay home and take care of her husband day and night, because Kim often has seizures and always needs someone by her side. Hoa is also currently suffering from migraines but does not dare to go to the doctor because of her difficult circumstances. Many times she can only sit and cry alone, silently enduring the pain. Her work revolves around staying at home, occasionally a neighbor out of pity calls her to work for a few hours or gives her some water spinach to take to the market to sell, in exchange for food for her children.

As for Hieu’s older sister, Le Thi Bao Vi, she once intended to quit school to go to work to help her mother because she saw how hard it was for her. However, she was encouraged by her teachers and neighbors to continue going to school. Since then, Vi has been more determined to study. After school, she works part-time at a milk tea shop, earning about 50,000 VND/day. She gives all that little money to her mother to help cover living expenses and buy medicine for her father.

Bao Vi cherishes the dream of becoming a pharmacist, with the desire to study medicine so that in the future she can treat and help unfortunate people like her father. However, that is still a concern in her heart, because she understands that her mother does not have enough money to pay for her to study this field. Vi has never dared to tell her mother about that dream, just because she is afraid that it will make her worry more. Minh Hieu has a dream of being educated and successful. He hopes to become a traffic police officer in the future to help people.

MC Duong Hong Phuc could not help but feel sorry for Ms. Hoa's situation, having to take care of her sick husband and her children all by herself. What the MC admired most was her willpower and determination to not let her children drop out of school, even though life was extremely difficult. He understood the hardships she had to endure after her husband's accident. As a father himself, Duong Hong Phuc said that every morning before going to work, he prayed for good health, because he understood that at home there were children who needed to be taken care of.

Duong Hong Phuc, Tien Linh and Huynh Lap listened to the tearful confidences from Minh Hieu's family.

Footballer Tien Linh also expressed his admiration for the spirit of overcoming difficulties of Bao Vi, the eldest sister in the family who not only studies hard but also works extra to help her mother take care of her father and educate her younger brother. The maturity and understanding of the two sisters moved the male player.

In particular, the moment that made Tien Linh speechless when listening to the children talk about their daily meals only having vegetables, and the meat, if any, was reserved for their father. As someone who pays attention to nutrition to maintain physical strength for competition, Tien Linh shared that he couldn't help but wonder where Hoa got the strength to continue supporting the family every day.

Actor Huynh Lap also gave many words of encouragement to the family. He admired Minh Hieu's maturity, but could not hide his sadness when witnessing a boy who was too young having to worry too much, losing his inherent innocence. He hoped that in the future, Hieu could find his true childhood again. At the same time, Huynh Lap encouraged Vi and Hieu to study hard and keep their dreams. To further motivate the two siblings, the actor decided to give the family an electric bike, helping Vi have a means of transport to take her younger brother to school every day.

Mother has cancer, father works hard to support the whole family

Another situation that moved viewers in the program was Cao Minh Hung (2013), currently a 7th grade student at Phu Duong Secondary School. Currently, Minh Hung is living with his parents and younger brother in Duong No Ward, Hue City. Hung's family had a warm life, although not very well off. However, an unexpected incident occurred when his mother - Ms. Tran Thi Thuy Van discovered she had stage 2 breast cancer.

According to the treatment regimen, Ms. Van must undergo 18 chemotherapy sessions, each session costing about 5-6 million VND. Up to now, she has only completed 5 chemotherapy sessions, while the treatment path ahead is still long and arduous.

Ms. Van fights her illness with the quiet care of her two children, while Mr. Hung is still working hard to make a living for his sick wife and two young children.

Hung's father - Mr. Cao Duc is currently the main breadwinner in the family, doing all kinds of freelance jobs such as porter and construction worker to take care of his wife and two children. His income is unstable, only 3-4.5 million VND per month, but he is still determined to stick with it, determined to cure his wife to the end: "Even if there is only a little hope, I will cure my wife to the end. I do not want my children to have to live the situation of losing their mother too soon . "

The family is currently living in a small house that is seriously degraded. Every rainy season, water leaks everywhere. There is no dry place to rest, everything is old and smells of mold. The living space becomes even colder as Ms. Van's health gradually weakens.

Since his mother got sick, Minh Hung is no longer the carefree boy he was before. He has become more mature and thinks more about his family. Hung often cares about his mother's health, quietly sitting by her bedside to take care of her after painful chemotherapy sessions. He often saves the money his mother gives him for school and gives it back to his mother to buy food. His biggest wish now is for his mother to recover soon, so that the family can return to the happy days of the past.

Amidst the pain of chemotherapy and the worries of making a living, holding hands is the only thing Ms. Van can give her children – simple but priceless.

Faced with Hung’s situation, actor Huynh Lap could not hide his emotions. The actor burst into tears, ran to hug Hung and his brother, and continuously wiped away their tears. He was even more choked up when he learned that Hung wore a torn shirt to the recording because it was a gift his mother bought for him, although old, it contained sacred sentiments.

MC Duong Hong Phuc also expressed his admiration for Hung. He said that Hung is a strong child who knows how to take care of his mother, give delicious food to his younger siblings, and is independent in cooking. The male MC sent words of encouragement to Ms. Van, hoping that she would stay optimistic to have more motivation to fight the disease and continue to be a strong spiritual support for her children.

Footballer Tien Linh understands the children's anxiety about being away from their parents.

Following the situation of the characters in the program, football player Tien Linh could not hide his sadness when witnessing the children facing so many difficulties. They not only have to strive to study but also shoulder the worry of taking care of sick parents, along with the anxiety that one day they may have to leave their parents, which makes him choke up.

Tien Linh said that, for him, family affection is sacred. He himself experienced a childhood without parents, so he somewhat understands that feeling. “I also had to be away from my parents since I was little. I lived away from my mother for the first 8 years of my life, and it was not until I was 8 years old that I met her for the first time. When I was 2 years old, my father also left his hometown to Binh Duong to start a business. Since then, I have lived with my grandparents. Being away from my parents at an early age inevitably made my childhood filled with sadness and self-pity ,” Tien Linh shared.

Footballer Tien Linh shares about his childhood without parents, deeply sympathizing with the circumstances of the children in the program.

However, when witnessing the situations in the Vietnamese Family Home , Tien Linh said that what he had experienced was nothing compared to the pain and pressure that the children in the program were facing. He emotionally said: “Fortunately, I had grandparents to take care of me, so my childhood was still warm. Later, when my mother returned, the family reunited, it was a great joy and happiness. Even happier was when my parents were by my side, gathered together, my family also had a better life . ”

Understanding the value of family love and the disadvantages of living far away from parents, Tien Linh always wants to accompany the children in the program. The male player said that he has quietly transferred money to support the characters many times, with the hope of giving them more motivation to overcome adversity and firmly step on the journey to adulthood.

Besides his passion for football, Tien Linh also spends time on charity work. For him, participating in the Vietnamese Family Shelter program is a great honor, as he gets to meet, listen and share with the less fortunate. Although he has missed many appointments due to his busy training schedule, whenever he has time, Tien Linh always prioritizes the program.

During this recording session, Tien Linh used his own money to give 3 families of the characters, each family 15 million VND. The meaningful action of the male player received much appreciation from the crew and audience of the program. He also expressed his desire to continue to accompany the Vietnamese Family Home for a long time to spread more love.
