Some of you will remember that we introduced Vang at the beginning of this campaign. Well unfortunately, his story has not yet improved.
Imagine for a moment you are Vang. Your monthly wage is around $300 - which is enough to cover your food expenses, and also rent a shack attached to someone’s house - but that’s about it.
Now imagine the pandemic hits where you live, and you are forced into quarantine - but a quarantine that doesn’t end after two weeks. Like Khai that we introduced last week, Vang has also been stuck in quarantine for almost 3 months now, in conditions that are less than ideal to say the least.
The reason for this is simple. Where Vang is they can’t provide covid tests for free. If you want to leave quarantine, you have to pay $40 to be tested - and only then can you leave. And of course for someone like Vang, he doesn’t have the money to pay for the test, so he just stays stuck in limbo…
That’s why we’d like to raise some money to help Vang get tested, and buy him a bus ticket back to hà giang - so he can get out of quarantine and on with his life.
So if you can, please donate to help Vang out of quarantine and back home.
