A viral post seeks donations for Bui Thi Thu Huong, a 26-year-old woman from Hung Yen province, who now weighs only 18kg after resorting to extreme weight loss methods.
Recognized for her beauty in the past, Huong’s current state at 1.55m tall is shocking, with before-and-after pictures revealing the severe toll of her malnutrition.
A Family’s Struggle
Her father, Bui Van Dinh, reveals that Huong, the eldest of three siblings, opted for a diet without rice after working at a garment company, resulting in a drastic weight drop to 40kg by 2021.
Despite the family’s efforts to intervene, Huong refused to change her diet, leading to further weight loss, especially after a motorbike accident in 2022, leaving her with severe malnutrition and dependency on her family.
Community Responses
Huong’s family faces financial strains due to her condition, with a relative initiating a donation campaign while local support comes in sporadically to assist the struggling family.
