The Story of Y Quynh Thư

Y Quynh Thư was born in 2020. She lives in a village about 16km from Kontum city. She is the third child of her family with an older half brother and sister of the same mother, but different fathers. We have no information on their fathers.

 

Her mother suffers from mental disease and always wanders here and there. She has abandoned her children who are living with their maternal grandmother who is olded and unable to properly care for her grandchildren. The kids have wandered around the village every day, always hungry.

Y Quynh Thư is old enough to go to kindergarten, but had nobody to take care of her. Luckily the Sisters of her parish introduced her to Vinh Son 5 orphanage where she was accepted by the Sister in charge.  She has been at Vinh Sơn 5 for a month and the Sisters will continue to take care of her.

As a newcomer, Y Quynh Thư felt very sad and lonely when first arriving to the orphanage.  FVSO is happy to report that she is doing better every day. Nutritious food and new clothes always helps. So does her new friend, Tom Solyst, who has become Y Quynh’s new “Best Friend.” He visits her every other day, making sure she is making friends and getting accustomed to life at Vinh Son. The orphan’s raised spirits has really made Christmas time more joyful for everyone.
