Hi, I'm Thy
I'm a girl, 12 years old and live in Vietnam.
Thy’s family is listed as a poor household in town. Her father does not afford a new bicycle and school fees for her. Seeing that the child faces risk of dropping out of school, local authority referred this case to Holt for support.
Thy was 8 years old and had normal health upon admission.
Thy lives with her paternal grandparents, father, and two twin sisters. Thy’s grandparents are 69 and 62 years old. Their health was not good enough for working because of joint pain, heart and kidney problems. And they have no income. Thy’s father and mother are divorced in 2018. The mother re-married and does not provide for her children anymore. Two twin sisters of Thy are in the first grade. They have normal health. Thy’s father is a worker at a seafood processing company with monthly salary of around 217 USD. He is sole-breadwinner of the family. The wage is not sufficient for basic living costs of a six member family, not to mention school fees of three children.
