“Dear kind-hearted donors,
Our family would like to send our warmest greetings and deepest gratitude to you.
We have three young children, and our third child was unfortunately born with a congenital heart condition. Facing significant financial hardship, your support for the surgery costs has been nothing short of a miracle, giving our child a second chance at life. Thanks to your help, our baby has made it through two critical emergency surgeries. Now, at nearly five months old, our child is thankfully doing better. We understand that the smile on our child’s face today is made possible thanks to your kindness and compassion. Our family will always remember this generosity and will do our best to raise our child well, so as not to take your kindness for granted.
We wish you good health and continued happiness, to help many more families in need.”
This heartfelt, handwritten letter from the family whose child has a congenital heart condition was given during a visit by Lifebuoy Vietnam and Scar Of Life to the children at City Children’s Hospital on March 20, 2026.
Amid the many challenges that families of children living with congenital heart defects face, Scar Of Life hopes that these uplifting words can bring encouragement and hope, helping them stay strong in the journey ahead.
Scar Of Life extends our heartfelt thanks to Lifebuoy Vietnam and our partners for their support in giving these children the opportunity to grow up with healthier hearts.
