MY FAMILY:

There are 4 people in my family: my parents, my younger brother and me. My father used to be a bricklayer but he cannot work now because last summer, he had an accident on his way home from work. As a result, my father had a traumatic brain injury, which took him a year to receive the treatment at the hospital. Now, my father’s health is not good as before and he cannot do heavy work. Therefore, my mother became the breadwinner in the family. She works as a seamstress at home. She makes a few parts of Ao Dai for a tailor shop to earn money, but truthfully the monthly income is very low and unstable. To cover all the expenses and our study costs is beyond my mother’s ability.

MY STUDY:

I am in grade 7 and an active boy at school. I love studying Biology, and I often get high marks for it. In a few next months, my brother will be in primary school, which will make the burden on my mother's shoulders heavier. I look forward to receiving a sponsorship so that I can have a better education and my study will not be interrupted. I sincerely thank you!

Family Members:

L.O.V.E.'s Note:  A family sponsorship is highly recommended.
