Hi, I'm LONG
I'm a boy, 4 years old and live in Vietnam.
Long’s family is in difficult circumstance. His mother left the family in the middle of 2020 and has had no contact since then. Long has two older sisters who are 11 years old and five years old. The kids and their father moved to Binh Duong province with their grandmother. Long’s father was a mason and the sole provider in family until he passed away in May 2023. The man was too distressed of his wife’s leaving. Long is living with his grandmother and two siblings. The grandmother is 65 years old, has weak legs due to an accident and an operation on her legs five years ago. She sells lottery tickets to provide for the kids but she cannot walk far to sell more. Her daily wage is about 4 USD. It is not enough to cover both meals of four persons and school fees of three kids, not to mention rent and other basic needs. Hence, local authority referred the case to Holt to help improve the grandmother’s income.
