Translation:
"I am Nguyen Hue, 6th grade 11 years. My younger sister is in 4th grade. My uncle is 39 years old, and he works on the street (finding work when he can).
I lost my dad when I was 2 years old, and my mother died last year.
This is my house. We rent this house, it costs 400,000 (month).”

How would you like Catalyst to help you?
“I would like a house."
