We are closing this fundraiser now. The family believe they now have enough money to cover the post surgery treatments.

Thank you to all the donors who responded so generously!

Nguyen Ngoc Ven from Mui Ne, 33, is a marine sports instructor. Right now he is in the emergency room at Thong Nhat Hospital (Ho Chi Minh City) with a critical cardiovascular condition. He has an aortic aneurysm and dissection, with a risk of rupture that could threaten if not treated immediately. Doctors originally advised that that he needs a stent implanted, costing over 300 million VND. (Update: It now appears that he will need 2 surgeries. The total advance required by the hospital is 480 million. ) His family is facing severe financial difficulties; he has two young children in school, and his wife has quit her job to care for him. They are struggling to find the large sum of money needed for treatment. Please contribute whatever you can to help him overcome this critical situation.
