Born in a mountainous village in Tuyen Quang province, 11-year-old Tan Thi Hoan, a girl from the Dao ethnic minority, lives with congenital heart disease. Instead of running and playing freely like her peers, her childhood years were tethered to fatigue, illness, and a fragile heartbeat.

Her parents rely on farming year-round on precarious earnings. Watching their daughter grow paler by the day broke her parents' hearts. The costs of medical examinations and surgery represented an overwhelming figure far beyond their reach, yet they refused to give up—always clinging to the hope that one day their daughter would be healthy.

Then, the Sowing the Future journey and its A Second Life program under the Loving Touch Foundation arrived like a heartfelt gift. When foundation representatives visited her in person, little Hoan smiled innocently and shared: "I love going to school so much, and Computer Science is my absolute favorite subject!" That pure statement touched everyone deeply, cementing the foundation's resolve to step in, lift the crushing burden off her parents' shoulders, and share their load.

At the Ha Noi Heart Hospital, thanks to the collective devotion and care of the medical staff, Hoan's heart surgery was a resounding success. Day by day, her health steadily improved. Her heart beat with renewed strength, a rosy color returned to her cheeks, and her fatigue gradually faded away.

Finally, the happiest moment arrived—Hoan was discharged from the hospital to return home, embarking on a "second life." For the first time in many years, she healthily put on her school uniform and returned to the classroom to pursue a wonderfully simple dream: to attend school and study Computer Science alongside her friends.

The story of Tan Thi Hoan's family stands as a beautiful testament to the power of compassion and love. When the community joins hands, miracles do happen—a heartbeat is healed, a childhood dream takes flight, and faith in goodness continues to spread.
