Little Loc Phu Thinh (born February 14, 2025, from Nghe An province), before even reaching his first birthday, suffered multiple hospitalizations due to severe, prolonged pneumonia, leaving him fragile and constantly fatigued. Following examinations and monitoring at Nghe An Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital, doctors diagnosed him with a complex congenital heart defect: ventricular septal defect (VSD) accompanied by a coronary sinus fistula into the right ventricle—a critical condition carrying severe risks if not treated in time.

His family is classified as an impoverished household residing in a remote mountainous region. His mother works as an agricultural laborer, single-handedly raising two young children on a precarious income dependent entirely on farming. Living under one roof with his elderly paternal grandparents, their economic means and access to healthcare services remain severely limited. The young boy's prolonged hospital stays have plunged the family deeper into financial hardship.

According to medical experts, Loc Phu Thinh urgently requires medical stabilization followed by early cardiac surgery to prevent life-threatening complications, strengthen his frail body, and improve his quality of life. Although he is covered 100% by health insurance, his family still faces substantial out-of-pocket expenses for treatments outside the insurance benefit list—an overwhelming burden under their current financial situation.

Recognizing the critical urgency of his condition and his family's severe hardship, the Social Work Department at Nghe An Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital proactively connected with the Loving Touch Foundation to request assistance. The Foundation's timely support has significantly lightened the family's financial load, ensuring the little boy gains access to the appropriate treatment plan at the right time.

Attending physicians note that Loc Phu Thinh's post-operative prognosis is very positive. With proper care and strict adherence to his treatment plan, he stands a strong chance of making a good recovery and steadily stabilizing his health.

Loc Phu Thinh's story once again underscores the vital mission of the Loving Touch Foundation in partnering with hospitals to deliver timely aid to vulnerable children, granting them access to life-saving medical care and guiding them toward a healthier future.
