Reuniting a Vietnamese mother with her disabled son after five years
A 9 year old crippled boy Erik Christensen may be reunited with his Vietnamese mother Thi Hao Sy and his half sister Lily as exit visas are granted by Vietnamese officials. They plan to travel via Bangkok to the United States, ending a five year international legal battle. Erik’s father Hans died of cancer last year while Erik, in a wheelchair, awaits the reunion in Los Angeles. The UN Red Cross and ICEM assisted in the effort.
