Turning Nightmares to Dreams

CBN.com Hang’s mother had been running a small ferry boat when she accidentally drowned in the Vietnamese River.      

“My neighbors and I went into the water to look for my mother,” Hang said. “Three days later they found her body.”  

Hang was only 11 when her mother died. She went to live with her grandmother, where she worked hard in fields to plant and harvest the crops.

“I didn’t mind it at all. I love my family. I just decided to be strong,” Hang said.

But the financial needs of her grandmother’s household were too great, and soon Hang was forced to drop out of school. That’s when her grandma brought her to this Christian home and school for children sponsored by CBN’s Orphan’s Promise. 

Here, Hang was able to return to school and eat three healthy meals a day, all under the loving eyes of her new house parents.

“I like it here,” Hang said. “I am not missing my mom and grandma so much because our house parents love us so much.” 

And whenever she can, Hang takes time to hop on her bicycle and head home to visit with her grandma. 

“When my mother died, I threw away my dreams,” Hang said. “Now I am studying hard to achieve them. Thank you CBN for changing my life.”
