This touching story has been shared by patients at Bach Mai Hospital in Hanoi. On March 10, N.V.T. and his wife visited the hospital’s Social Work Department to donate 50 gift packages, each worth VND1 million, to patients who are struggling with disease at the hospital.

What made it special was that the gift originally belonged to their only son, who tragically died in an accident in his early 20s.

The gift was from the company where their son worked, but instead of keeping it, N.V.T. and his wife decided to turn it into an act of charity, spreading love to less fortunate people. They brought this money to the hospital to hand over to people in need.

“Our son is no longer with us, but our love for him remains unchanged. We want to turn our pain into something meaningful. Even though he’s no longer in this world, he can still bring joy to others,” the father shared.

Throughout the donation event, N.V.T. and his wife couldn’t hold back their tears. They felt happy to spread a humane value. Their words and embraces with the patients left a deep emotional impact.

Receiving the gifts from N.V.T. and his wife, the patients were deeply grateful. For many, VND1 million might not seem like much, but for those battling illness in tough circumstances, it is a precious support and tremendous source of emotional encouragement.

N.V.V, an elderly patient from Ha Nam, who received a gift from N.V.T.’s family, was also moved to tears.

“I feel warm because I have more money for treatment, and I can sense their genuine kindness. Knowing the couple’s situation, I treasure this gift even more,” V. said.

According to the hospital’s Social Work Department, N.V.T and his wife are farmers, and they are not wealthy people.

This was not only a beautiful gesture but also an inspiration to many. When love is strong enough, it can transform grief into hope, giving those in hardship the strength to fight illness and life’s challenges.

Bach Mai Hospital receives 8,000 to 9,000 patients daily for examination and treatment. Patients come from various regions, from the North to central provinces, even as far as Dak Lak, with many of them facing financial difficulties.

For years, the hospital’s Social Work Department has helped patients appeal to philanthropists for support. Staff here carefully assess each person’s circumstances to ensure aid matches the donors’ intentions.
