In 1999, she heard about blood donation for saving people in HCMC. She told “At that time, I thought about whether or not I had enough health to continue working after blood donation. If I were sick, who would take care of my children?”. After a long time, she registered to donate her blood. “Instead of giving money, I will donate my blood”, she said.

After that, her family moved to Binh Duong province’s An phu ward for a permanent settlement. At that time, the ward work of humanitarian blood donation was developed and she started becoming an excellent volunteer of the work.
