My story

 

Hi friends and family! Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

While in the town of Hoi An in Vietnam, we had the opportunity to spend time at a small state run orphanage housing children the ages of just a few weeks through 22 years old. We had the chance to tour the very humble facility and interact with the children as they went about their activities. Roughly half of these children are disabled and require a great deal of additional resources to care for them. We discovered a small charity here in Hoi An named the Kianh Foundation founded from folks in the UK that supplement the existing care of these disabled children Providing home care, schooling and physical therapy. Prior to the Kianh Foundation's contribution,  conditions were less than humane for these helpless kids.  The smallest of donations can do so much over here and since this charity relies 100% on donations, it's essential that we all give what we can. We were fortunate enough to see first hand what this small team of volunteers can do to change the lives of these children. The many hardships and bureaucratic obstacles faced by the charity in a socialist country is hard enough, let's not allow financial support stand in the way of a worthy cause.

If anyone has questions regarding this drive, please feel free to reach out to us. Directors within the Foundation gave us a very detailed insight into daily operations, future projects and monthly financial goals.
