60-year-old Nguyen Thi Tau and her four-year-old grandson, Nguyen Van Hao, live in a tiny house that can barely protect them from the weather. Tau doesn't have any land so has little income to raise her grandson while her health continues to worsen. According to Tau, her husband died many years ago. Her daughter got married twice and had a son. However, she left them long ago and hasn't contacted Tau. Tau's daily meals only consist of rice and some fish. "It’s thanks to the neighbours that we can have such a meal. Sometimes, other people gave us milk, making Hao really happy. He would cry when there was no milk but I couldn't do anything about it.
