3.2. Poverty Reduction
My son’s illness was a combination of two serious diseases mixed together. I was very worried at the beginning. I blamed myself. I’m useless, can’t earn enough money, my own body is not good, the child is more important than me. I decided to not cure myself, and to borrow money for my son’s treatment, and then, sister Wang, who works in our sub-district office, came to my home and told me the country can help me. It was like a dream. The surgery was successful and our family did not spend too much money, we only spent one or two thousand yuan (€125–€250). Without the help of the Red Cross, that would have been a tough New Year. My son is the only son. Saving my son saved my family. [Shaking hand with the interviewer thankfully.].(Interviewed father L)
3.3. Self-Reported Effect
Before surgery, my child (six years old) could not run or jump. I carried her every day when we went out because walking more would lead to shortness of breath. My daughter often got tired. I held her then, her head was bowed to my shoulder. [The mother begins sobbing]. I heard the sound of her heavy breathing, I was very distressed. When we went to the hospital, they first said it was pulmonary hypertension, then she received medicine, and surgery was arranged for the third day. The operation was successful, and now she is just the same as a normal child, besides a scar on the chest. Even swimming is no problem.(Interviewed mother B)
