Silent hero behind the wheel takes hundreds of COVID patients to medical facilities

Charity work

Driving all day long to take patients to healthcare facilities, he did not relax when he was free at night.

He spent time doing charity work.

Thông often collected rice and vegetables from meals of medical workers to donate to homeless people and those who do not have stoves to cook in HCM City.

The leftover food was cooked for doctors and nurses at healthcare facilities. For many reasons, they did not eat because they were too busy or some of them went home to have meals with families.

Thông and Trí his son also bought food for people in quarantine areas. On the first days only two of them did the charity work by themselves, then students from Thái Bình Province’s Medical University who were working voluntarily in the city helped out.

After  三0 days driving the ambulance in HCM City, Thông heard the news that the pandemic had returned to his hometown Quảng Bình.

I妹妹ediately he asked for permission to return to help his hometown fight the pandemic.

After testing negative and being in quarantine, Thông and his son started his job as two out of four ambulance drivers transporting COVID patients in Quảng Bình.

Thông received two doses of vaccine when he was working in HCM City.

He said he wanted to return because “I am a son of Quảng Bình. I promised in HCM City that I would be back home when HCM City is free of COVID. But now my hometown needs my help.

“I only think I have an ambulance and I can offer help. There are many people out there who need my support.” — VNS
