Vu Thi Kim Thanh was held behind in Vietnam by an uncaring grandfather who used her mother's love to get money to feed his gambling habit. The last that we heard of her was through a letter written in 1986 stating that she was sent off on a boat to America. She was never seen since. Thanh is the second daughter of Tran Thi Dien (mother) and Vu Dinh Dung (father.) She has two sisters that she knows of: Vu Thi Lien Phuong (first daughter) and Vu Thi Thu Huong (third sister.) There has been an addition to the family that Thanh does not know of: Vu Tran Lillian.
