My name is Thang H. Vo, the creator of THV Emotive Music and author of the memoir 'From Shackle to Liberty.' My journey began in Vietnam, where I fled by boat in search of freedom. I survived the ocean, the refugee camps, and the challenges of rebuilding life from nothing in a new land. After decades of perseverance and gratitude, I am finally bringing together my two lifelong passions—literature and music—into one mission: to inspire compassion, courage, and unity through stories and songs born from truth.

I am raising funds to publish my memoir and produce professional-quality original music, including songs like 'Echoes of the Ocean,' 'Silent Prayer,' 'Rhythm of Hope,' 'Petals beneath the moon light,' and '

echoes of Silence.' These works carry the emotional weight of real memory, struggle, and triumph. I have already invested years of writing, months of website development, and my personal savings for early music and design work. But to bring this dream fully to life—to reach readers, listeners, and anyone who needs hope—I need help from compassionate supporters like you.

Your contribution will help protect a life story that must not be lost, release meaningful music, and share a refugee’s journey with dignity. It will inspire people seeking courage in their own lives and support an independent creator with a mission. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference. Your belief and kindness turn memory into melody, and pain into purpose. If my story touches your heart or my music calms your spirit, I humbly ask you to stand with me. Together, we can bring this memoir and music to the world and transform lived experience into lasting inspiration. Thank you, with all my heart. — Thang H. Vo
