Just a budding bud, Kim Ngan, 6 years old, a first grader at Cam Binh Primary School, Cam Binh Commune, Ha Tinh Province, is going through a series of difficult days.
Kim Ngan's small family was peaceful, but in early 2024, while pregnant with her second child, Ngan's mother, Nguyen Thi Linh (30 years old), received a diagnosis that struck her like a bolt of lightning: end-stage kidney failure. Doctors advised her to abort the fetus to focus on treatment. However, the sacred maternal love and blood connection made the mother determined to keep her baby.

Ms. Linh struggled with the pain that tortured both her body and mind, swallowed each bitter pill, endured each painful injection with the faint hope: to see her child born.
The burden of illness grew heavier and heavier, and the mother's body became more and more exhausted. In July 2024, when the fetus was 25 weeks old, another thunderbolt struck: the fetus was not developing. The mother had to undergo surgery to permanently separate from her unborn child. At the same time, she had to undergo another surgery to insert a shunt, beginning her journey of dialysis, the battle to snatch life from the hands of death.
With her mother seriously ill and her father gone, Kim Ngan’s life began with a series of incomplete days. Her meals were sometimes white rice with fish sauce, or a package of raw instant noodles that she had clumsily peeled herself, because her grandmother had spent all her old strength to run around to get each pill and each dialysis meal for her mother.

There were nights when her mother was in excruciating pain, her moans squeezing the fragile heart of a six-year-old child. Kim Ngan cried, but did not dare to cry out loud, she could only hide in a corner, using her tiny hands to quickly wipe away the hot tears.
Little Ngan longed for a warm hug, for a meal with her mother sitting next to her, for her to tell her happy stories from school. But all of these were just distant wishes. Her mother was struggling with death day by day, hour by hour.

Kim Ngan did not fully understand what “kidney failure” was. She only knew that her mother was very weak, that she could no longer carry her, and the trips to “dialysis” were the longest, loneliest days. She longed for her mother’s life, not only for her, but also for her own withering childhood.
The young mother’s life is fragile with each breath. The life of her child is also fading away with each day without the warmth of love. They need us, the hearts that cannot ignore the sobbing cry from the heart of a child wanting to hold on to its mother.
