Over a year ago, Linh was suffering from kidney failure and had to be supported with kidney dialysis to maintain life. Three times every week, he had to be treated with kidney dialysis machine.
“Weeks after weeks, is he going to use that machine for life, I think to myself and way to help him,” said Mrs. Nguyen Ngoc Linh.
