On January 29, Major Hoàng Ngọc Minh, Head of Vĩnh Thái Police Station in Vĩnh Linh District, Quảng Trị Province, shared a heartwarming story on New Year’s Eve. After news of a woman dropping $60 while shopping for Tet spread widely on social media, generous donors contributed over $4,000 to support Nguyễn Thị Hoa, who resides in Tan Mach village, Vinh Thai commune.
The money lost by Ms. Hoa was not just a small savings from two months of hard work but also her hope to buy essential goods for her family during Tet. Thanks to community support, she received far more than expected.
