More faith and energy to live for a 19-year-old girl on dialysis

Linh is the eldest child coming from a 5-sibling-family. The primary source of income of the family depends on a few farming plots. Although Linh is just 19 years old, she has been attached to hemodialysis machines at the hospital for 5 years.

When Linh was studying in the 9th grade, she suddenly got tired and lost weight. After a faint in the classroom, she was taken to have a medical examination in Hanoi. The doctors said she had kidney failure and would have to live with dialysis for the rest of her life. Since then, she stays more at the hospital than at home.

Since Linh was ill, her parents had to borrow money from everywhere for her treatment. Until now, the family can not borrow any additional costs, because many old debts have not yet paid. The condition of Linh became severe when she was infected by the tumor in the kidneys. It made the girl had a whole month of hypnosis. The best approach the doctors recommend for the 19-year-old girl is replacing kidneys. The kidney source was available from her mother, but the cost for the surgery was up to over 300 million VND - a huge amount for Linh’s family that is definitely out of their league at this moment. There was a time when Linh’s mother was helpless and asked the doctor to let Linh go home because the family could not afford the treatment.

Along with other sponsors to support Linh, VSF expects that with this timely support, Linh will soon have surgery and return to regular life with her family!

At the same time, VSF hopes to join hands and connect more and more kind-hearted people to support the little girl who is young and longing to live!
