Join Hope Foundation to support pediatric cancer patients and disadvantaged children

In February 2021, a stem cell transplant for a 32-month-old child with neuroblastoma was successfully performed by Children's Hospital 2 for the first time. Without a bone marrow transplant, the child's chance of living for a year is only 12%. The entire transplant cost of VND235 million (US$9,600) was sponsored by the Sun of Hope program.

He is one of hundreds of pediatric cancer patients in difficult circumstances receiving treatment support from the program in 2021, with a total funding of more than VND9 billion. Of these, 19 pediatric patients received financial support for stem cell transplants.

Every year, there are 4,200 children with cancer in Vietnam but only 20% of them are cured. While in developed countries, up to 80% of children survive. There are many reasons for this disparity, mainly because families of Vietnamese pediatric patients often have low incomes and have difficulty accessing advanced medicine and technology.

When detected and treated in the "golden stage", children with cancer have many chances to return to normal life.

From the beginning of 2022, Hope Foundation has expanded its focus to autistic children, orphans, disabled children, and children with other serious diseases.

Not only does the program provide financial support to take care of the health and living conditions of future generations, the program also focuses on mental support activities to help disadvantaged children have a better life.

To help more pediatric patients and vulnerable children, Hope Foundation hopes to have the cooperation of readers and benefactors. Please send all contributions to:
