Mr. Ty's wife passed away more than 20 days ago due to melanoma that metastasized to her groin and lungs, leaving behind two young children in 5th and 2nd grade. Previously, Mr. Ty worked as a construction worker far from home, but since his wife got sick, he had to accompany her to the hospital, so his job was unstable. After more than 2 years of treating his wife, the cost of borrowing has been more than 130 million VND. Mr. Ty also had to borrow more to bring his wife back to her hometown for burial according to her wishes. Currently, in order to conveniently take his two children to school, Mr. Ty cannot work far away, there is no work in the border area, so life for the three father and children is very difficult.
