or Justice

P utting Childr en F ir st in Vie tnamMy Hoang is a l4-year-old girl with severe cerebral palsy. "She couldn't eatanything," says her mother, Tam. "lt would get stuck in her throat." Unable to speakor easily move her hands, My Hoang couldn't tell her mother what was wrong.

In rural Vietnam, children withtisabilities struggle with more than physicalchallenges. Their parents and teachers often don't know how to care for them.

Catholic Relief Services (CRS) reaches out to parents who need help raising theirchildren with disabilities. CRS customizes support to families based on theirchildren's needs-food, medicine, physical therapy, transportation to school-andaddresses them through its Children First program, so children like My Hoang canreceive treatment and live healthy, happy lives.
