Mom of 2 young kids in ICU needs donation

Donation protected
What a year it has been for everyone but its particularly harder for my family. My family in Vietnam has been hit very hard this year with the impact of covid financially. My whole family in Vietnam works in hospitality industry: hotel, travel and tourism. All sources of income have come to a stop, but we managed to get by.

Terribly, tragedy hits our family at the worst time possible. When we thought nothing could make this year any worse, the worst fear has presented to our family.

Recently, my sister in law Ngan, who is only 33 years old, got admitted to the ICU in Danang, Vietnam due to a severe viral infection that has damaged her lung, her heart, her kidneys severely and basically her whole body. She is now in a coma in the ICU fighting for her life.

One crazy thing about the medical system in Vietnam is that you have upfront the estimated amount of money for treatment before you can get treatments at all. My sister in law has been in the ICU for 13 days now. She is on ECMO machine for life support due to her weak heart and lung functions. With my sister in law case being so severe with many rounds of operations that need to be done to fix her heart, constant dialysis due to her kidney failure, the medical cost has been out of control. Just for 13 days, we had to manage close to 25,000 USD for her treatments so far. And it is expected that she will need to be there much longer, could possibly 2-3 months due to the severity of her case. My brother has taken out second mortgage on his house, took out several personal loans to manage so far, but the money has been depleted so fast due to piles of medical bills. We really need any bit of donations as soon as possible to seek treatments for Ngan.

My sister in law Ngan is a very kind hearted person and an awesome mom to 2 young kids, an 8 year old boy and 5 year old girl. She often involves in a lot of charity events. Her most recent one is just a week right before she becomes ill to help kids in rural areas. We are not sure if this is where she caught the virus. There is a high chance she becomes ill doing good deeds.

Please donate any amount possible for Ngan, please help share the link if possible. Any amount would add up and help us substantially to go through this dark time. Please share a prayer for Ngan and our family. We believe in the power of prayers would help Ngan pull through and come home to her kids and family. Ngan has helped the world a better place through her good deeds and being a great mom and we really hope she would recover to continue to her mission.

P/s: Due to covid, Ngan has been in the ICU alone, no family member can visit at all. I can’t capture a picture of her in the ICU bed. Its her in the white tank top in the previous picture with her daughter at the daughter’s birthday celebration. Im also attaching the last picture of her from my brother’s Facebook as she was at a charity event. Ngan is wearing a mask with a white hat on next to her 2 kids.
