In 2003, Ms. Ly's daughter was diagnosed with congenital hemolytic disease. Since then, she has taken her daughter to see a doctor, receive blood transfusions, and undergo blood filtration every 20 days. The cost of each treatment is so high that the family's financial situation is increasingly depleted. During the treatment journey, there were times when Ms. Ly and her daughter had no money left. Their daily meals depended on charity meals from benefactors. One time, after the examination and taking medicine, the doctor let them go home. Out of money, Ms. Ly and her daughter did not know how to get home. Seeing this, the patients in the same room each contributed a little money for the bus fare for the teacher and her daughter.
Ms. Ly calls for support for new backpacks for students in difficult circumstances.
"They are people in difficult circumstances, staying in the hospital for a whole month to take care of their relatives, so their finances are exhausted. Receiving that money, I was very grateful and guilty. I asked for everyone's information to find a way to repay them, but they all refused. Since then, I have been determined to call for and support those in more difficult circumstances to repay people and life," Ms. Ly recalled.
In the following days, Ms. Ly asked for old clothes, books, etc. to give to people and students of ethnic minorities. Through relatives and friends, Ms. Ly's meaningful work spread to many places. Every time she went to teach or on weekends, she and her husband brought some charity items to give to people and students in disadvantaged areas.
In early 2022, Ms. Ly’s husband passed away from esophageal cancer. Since then, she has been single-handedly supporting her family and paying off a debt of more than 200 million VND. Despite struggling with daily life, Ms. Ly still does not forget to do good deeds to repay life.
For many years, twice a week, Ms. Ly has gone to school earlier than usual to give breakfast to her students. Some days it is bread, other times it is sticky rice, dumplings... helping hundreds of children in the highlands to have enough to eat. "There were times when I went to do charity work, and when I returned, people would give me pumpkins, vegetables, and fish. The gifts were very simple but really touched me. Giving is happiness," Ms. Ly shared.
Mr. Le Xuan Quang, Principal of Ya Xiêr Primary and Secondary School, said that although she had only been teaching at the school for a short time, Ms. Ly had mobilized a television to help the school have more learning equipment, and mobilized 50 bags of cement to repair the gate and school yard. In addition, she also called for support, donated backpacks and clothes to many disadvantaged students of the school. "Ms. Ly's work is very meaningful and this is also a shining example for everyone to learn and follow," Mr. Quang said.
