Hoang Phuong Linh

My name is Pham Thi Hoang Anh. I was born in the spring of 1997 in Da Nang city. There are four members in my family: my parents, my sister and me. But now, I only live with my mother because my father and sister passed away many years ago. I was born into a family with more special circumstances than other friends. When I was an infant in the womb, my father became seriously ill involving kidneys and had to be treated in Hanoi. The hardship that weighed heavily on my mother's shoulder did not stop there because my sister had congenital cerebral palsy, is unable to take care of herself, like other people. Then my father was far away from my family when I was three years old. It was a crisis for my mother and she had to sell my family’s house to pay back the debts which were used for my father's treatment. After that, my maternal grandparents gave us a small piece of land near our grandparents' house to build a house in 2001.
