Grandson Ton Nu Hoang Dung (SN 2015) is the only child of Mr. Ton Thang Dung (SN 1984) and sister Hoang Thi Thuy Linh (1984), in Diem Tan TDP, Duc Ninh Dong Ward, Dong Hoi City (Quang Binh).Visiting little Hoang Dung on a day in mid-September, even though we knew she had a deformity, when we met Dung, we were still shocked and saddened by the misfortunes that the 3-year-old girl was suffering.
Hoang Dung’s face is completely deformed when there is no bridge of the nose, the forehead is distorted, and the eyes are wide, protruding outward. The distance of the eyes is also far apart, unlike other normal children.Despite being deformed, little Hoang Dung surprised us with her agility and cleverness. Not being able to go to school, but being taught by her mother, this girl knows how to dance, sing and always aspire to go to school.The innocent questions of a 3-year-old child “when will I go to school”; “Mom, why don’t you guys play with me”… has taken away the tears of the young mother and relatives in Hoang Dung’s family countless ᴛι̇ɱes.
“She’s very clever, seeing the children love to come and play, but when they see her, the children get scared and run away. The children in the village don’t understand, so they keep calling him a “devil face”, making us adults feel sorry for him”, a neighbor of Hoang Dung said sadly.
Due to facial deformity, Hoang Dung cannot go to school, nor has any friends to play with because every child who sees her runs away because of fear.
Helpless because the treatment costs are too largeFeeling sorry for the child’s fate, Linh and her husband have also accumulated and borrowed money from all over the world to take their children to hospitals in the country in the hope of giving Hoang Dung a normal face and bright eyes. another child.However, Dung has only had surgery on the protruding front part. As for the baby’s eyes, the doctors’ prognosis is very complicated, with corneal perforation, if left untreated for a long ᴛι̇ɱe, it will lead to perɱaпent blindness.In addition, the child’s eyes cannot close and open normally, if this condition lasts for a long ᴛι̇ɱe, it will lead to dry eyes causing eye damage. While domestic hospitals are not capable of surgery because the risk of complications is very high.
Linh and her husband have always wanted to treat their baby, but the cost is too greatThrough research and advice and support from a foreign organization, Linh and her husband are cherishing taking their child to Singapore for corneal surgery to save their baby’s eyes.However, the cost of this surgery is up to 2 billion VND. Due to difficult conditions, the main income also depends on Mr. Dung’s aluminum and glass business, so that plan is still unknown when it can be realized.Although it is very difficult, Mr. Dung and Ms. Linh still do not stop making efforts, constantly hoping and wishing that a miracle will come to the poor child.
Perhaps only the benevolence and love of the community can bring that miracle to the disabled girl Hoang Dung. In order for him to keep his eyes, he will have surgery to reconstruct his face further, so that he can go to school, and in the future will no longer have to feel guilty about life.
