According to statistics from Ho Chi Minh City's Department of Labor, War Invalids, and Social Affairs, as of November 2021, the fourth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic had left 2,324 children orphaned, having lost either one or both parents or caregivers. The unexpected loss of loved ones has caused these children tremendous emotional pain. Furthermore, for families already struggling, the economic downturn caused by the pandemic has resulted in job losses for many, thereby affecting the family's income and ability to care for their children.
