Little Bach Quang Minh (born September 21, 2017, residing in An My commune, My Duc district, Ha Noi) is currently undergoing treatment at Ha Noi Heart Hospital for a complex congenital heart defect known as DORV - TGA - PS. From the moment he took his very first breath, he was diagnosed with this severe cardiac malformation and has endured an arduous medical journey just to stay alive.

Medical records show that Bach Quang Minh underwent two major open-heart surgeries when he was just 3 months and 13 months old. In June 2025, he underwent a pulmonary valve balloon dilation, but the outcome fell short of expectations. Now, doctors have determined that his bioprosthetic pulmonary valve is severely stenotic, accompanied by severe tricuspid regurgitation and severe right ventricular pressure overload. A crucial third surgery is now urgently required to save his life and restore his fragile heart.

Throughout his young life, Bach Quang Minh’s childhood has been spent in hospital wards, surrounded by prescription drugs and relentless check-ups. Despite missing school frequently for treatments, he remains remarkably determined to keep up with his studies, facing every painful obstacle with quiet courage.

His family’s circumstances add another heavy layer of hardship. Living as a family of five with three young children—Bach Quang Minh being the middle child—his parents work as informal laborers with fragile, unpredictable incomes. To care for their son, they frequently miss work to take him to medical appointments, shrinking their modest earnings even further.

Officially recognized as a low-income household by local authorities, the family carries a staggering weight. Beyond supporting Bach Quang Minh through years of continuous medical care, his parents must also provide for their two other young children while caring for their aging, frail grandparents. Years of endless medical bills have accumulated into an overwhelming financial strain.

The total cost for this third surgery is estimated at over 189.5 million VND. Even with health insurance covering more than 126.5 million VND, the remaining out-of-pocket balance is 63,027,349 VND. For a low-income family struggling to support three generations under one roof, this remaining sum is a monumental wall standing between their child and his survival.

Moved by Bach Quang Minh's desperate struggle, the Loving Touch Foundation has committed to providing 63,027,349 VND, covering the entirety of the remaining medical fees after health insurance. This timely support not only lifts a crushing financial weight off the family's shoulders but also ensures this brave boy receives the immediate, life-saving surgery he desperately needs.

Every act of kindness from the community is a precious lifeline for young children fighting for their lives day in and day out. We deeply hope that with the continued support of the Loving Touch Foundation and compassionate donors everywhere, Bach Quang Minh will successfully conquer his third surgery, regain his strength, and return to school and play alongside his friends—just like any other child.
