2014 was an amazing year for giving, and MEDRIX was honored to receive your donations and support. Thanks to you, many children in Vietnam will be living healthy and happy childhoods. They'll be able to go on to receive an education and give back to their own communities without being held back by heart defects.
YOU played an integral part in changing lives: over $5,000 was raised for heart surgeries through the MEDRIX platform on GlobalGiving in 2014! WOW! That means that more than 6 children will be sponsored for surgery in early 2015: MEDRIX is in Vietnam right now, counseling parents and families through the difficult decision to undergo surgery. We are also excited to announce our expansion into young adult heart surgeries as well. MEDRIX has been asked to consider sponsorship for young adults on an as-needed basis because many of their situations are even more grim than a child's: young adults are often the economic pillars of their families and solely responsible for their entire financial outlook. When they are unable to work and provide for their families due to minor heart defects, the whole family can spiral further into extreme poverty. MEDRIX is honored to be able to expand our sponsorships to more families and communities in Vietnam.
You will notice that despite this expansion of our heart surgery sponsorships in Vietnam, currently our heart surgery project page is listed as 'fully funded'. 2015 will be a year of great reflection for MEDRIX and our partners in Vietnam: the generosity and heart behind our supporters and our organization is very great. MEDRIX will be reorganizing our heart surgery sponsorship program for the future to better accomodate a wider variety of patients, and in the meantime, our heart surgery project page will be listed as 'funded'. Don't worry--your generous donations will still go towards 2015 heart surgery patients. We'll also keep you posted once these patients are selected and begin surgery in just a few weeks! Our safe water campaign is still running and we still need your support to provide safe water to preschools and primary schools in Vietnam.
Thank you for your generosity, your commitment, and your support for MEDRIX to help children and families in Vietnam!
