Ethnic M’Nong villager Mary Thi Luc has been experiencing severe traumas in her backbone, shoulders and right leg since she had a road accident in 2017.
She has to stop to rest because of awful pain every time she walks 30 meters. She regularly asks for painkillers from her subparish priest to relieve her unbearable pain.
Luc, a 40-year-old mother of four, works with her husband to grow rice and coffee. They also work as daily wage earners to support their family. They suffer from a lack of food but it is not for want of trying.
