Life-Changing Heart Surgeries for Kids in Vietnam

2015 has been off to a great start thanks to your generosity and support! Because of you, MEDRIX has been able to sponsor five more heart surgeries for deserving children and adults in Vietnam--and ALL of them have been successful! Now five more families are able to look forward to a happy and healthy future without being held back by heart defects. 

Recently MEDRIX began sponsoring young adults as well as children for life-changing heart surgeries. The adults that MEDRIX meets who suffer from heart defects often have children, spouses or parents to care for that depend on them for survival. They are the economic pillars for their families and in their communities, and cannot support themselves or others unless they are able to work. MEDRIX was honored to sponsor one adult woman, Dong, whose picture you'll see in this report. She recovered quickly and was able to return home to her husband and family less than 3 weeks after her surgery!

Four other little heart surgery patients--all children--have also undergone their surgeries already and are on to healthier lives! Your generosity has changed their futures forever. They'll be able to go receive an education, experience childhood like other children, and go on to become leaders in their communities. This would not be possible if they hadn't undergone these life-changing surgeries. 

Our safe water campaign is still active and 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! Together, we can make a difference and provide a lifetime of health, happiness and hope to families in need.
