Emergency Relief

babyka
In late December 2007 a new born baby was left on the doorstep of one of our partner's orphanages in Vietnam. The baby, later named Viet Ha, was taken to the hospital. Doctors discovered she had a heart and lung condition. Due to the generous support of donors, GVN Foundation raised enough money for her to be taken to a quality hospital in Saigon. She was treated and sent home but was not strong enough to undergo a corrective heart surgery and later died February 1st, 2008.

To honor her memory and assist those in need in the future GVN Foundation has created the Viet Ha Emergency Relief Fund.

Baby Kha (pictured above with her mother) was able to receive a life saving heart surgery because of donors to this fund.

Donate to the Viet Ha Emergency Relief Fund

Donations made to this fund will be accessed when tragedy or disaster strikes. Examples include when a natural disaster or political upheaval means refugees, within communities we support, need food, water, and shelter or, when a child within one of our partner's programs desperately needs a life saving operation.
