Children's Disease Information

Little Duy Quang was born with both congenital heart disease and radial aplasia in both arms, leading to forearm deformities and the absence of thumbs on both hands, making it extremely difficult for him to grasp objects.

His treatment plan includes thumb reconstruction using the index finger or wrist axis correction surgery, which requires two separate procedures—one for each side. The first surgery is expected to take place in May 2025 under the care of Dr. Stéphane Guero, known as the "Hand Wizard," bringing hope for a better quality of life for Duy Quang.

"The support from the Foundation and generous benefactors will give my child a chance to live a healthy life and bring great hope to our family."

Duy Quang’s father, Mr. Lê Thanh Quý, carefully penned these heartfelt words in a handwritten letter to The Children of Vietnam Charitable Fund. As the family's main provider, he has suffered from muscle atrophy in his right leg due to polio since childhood. Despite his condition, he has persevered in working as a motorcycle repairman, earning a modest income of approximately 2,500,000 VND per month to support his family of four.

With financial hardship making it difficult to afford Duy Quang’s treatment plan, the family is earnestly hoping for the generosity of kind-hearted donors to give their son the chance to live healthily and to one day hold a pen and write down his dreams.
