I am raising funds for those in Khanh Hoa province, Viet Nam, where I have many family members and friends who are suffering the devastating effects of massive flooding throughout the province due to historic levels of storm activity. My wife, Lien, lives in the town of Ninh Hoa, where this photo was taken in recent days, and has family and friends who have found themselves displaced from their homes, and many of their personal possessions, supplies, and stores of food washed away or destroyed by the muddy flood water from the local river. Locals can't get to their jobs (if they currently exist), nor buy groceries, medicines, and other necessities. Her home, fortunately, is on higher ground and has become a place of safety and refuge for some.

These funds will be used to provide for immediate needs for those we know to be in the greatest need, many of them the elderly, or single parents, and will be further used to assist with restorative activities after the flood waters have receded. Thank you.
