Give a pair of orthopedic shoes

 

120$ donation to enable a disabled girl walk on her own feet

It is extremely hard for children who are unable to walk to get along with other children at their age. Seeing their peers run and play while they have to depend on other people for the most basic necessities of life, they have an inferiority complex about their disability. And that feeling will become even greater when they grow up. Fortunately, with supportive equipments like orthopedic shoes, children with mobility problams can now stand and walk on their own feet, gain more independence and improve their lifestyles.

 

Nguyen Pham Nhu Y, a girl with cerebral palsy, and her family are yearning for a chance to have that extraordinary experience. She was born in 2007 in a poor family in Quang Nam province. Having a mother who abandoned her when she was just a baby and a father who lives far away for work, Nhu Y hardly knows what it’s like to be showered with parents’ love like most other kids. She is brought up by her grandparents and her uncle instead. Her 56-year-old grandfather works in his small barber shop and her uncle works as an electrician while her grandmother works on their family’s rice field. Alarmed that she still couldn’t move at all by the time she was 3, her family had to take her to a doctor. The news that their poor grandchild was suffering from cerebral palsy came as a great shock to Nhu Y’s grandparents.

 

Knowing that it’s very hard for Nhu Y to be cured completely, all that her family wants is a chance for her to be able to walk normally. To achieve that, Nhu Y needs a pair of orthopedic shoes which is about $120.00. Nhu Y’s grandmother said: “All I could wish for is that my grandchild could walk and move around like other children. Just seeing her is already a great joy to us.” However with her family meager income, that small wish seems to be out of the question.

 

 This cause was recommended by Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation(VVAF) through the Dioxin Resolution Initiatives in Vietnam Project. Please kindly donate to VVAF so that it can help Nguyen Pham Nhu Y’s family and similar causes improve their lives effectively and sustainably.
