421,200 USD Has Been Raised in Gala Night Scar of Life 8 to Support 351 Heart Surgeries For Children With Congenital Heart Defects

The charity auction Scar of Life 8 on Nov. 29 was the most successful in the history of Heartbeat Vietnam for the past 8 years with Ambassador Ngo Thanh Van. 351 children will be saved from the fund of 421,200USD (nearly 10 billion VND) through the live auction of 11 items on stage and 63 silent auction items as well as direct donations at the event.

The enthusiastic and compassionate participation of the sponsors and guests that night brought an atmosphere of love and sharing for children with congenital heart defects who are looking forward to their helping arms. Sincerely thank all the sponsors of the program for their generous work on the 8th Scar of Life.

Thanks to Director Jun Pham and his crew for his short film debut. A lighthearted, lively, and hopeful “A Lucky Clover” has contributed to raising awareness in the community not only about congenital heart defects but also about the urgency that these small fragile hearts need to be helped. The film really motivated the unstoppable donations from the donors to “Give Luck, Gain Love” during the gala night.

Thank you for being fierce, strong, and trustful with our organization and the program Scar of Life, and more importantly, with the mission to save children with congenital heart defects throughout Vietnam. Her sincerity is the greatest inspiration for other loving hearts to follow and support this wonderful journey.
