Community Service

  • Hometown Breath, Co-founder (2021 - 2022)

As the co-founder of a fundraising organization operating both in Vietnam and internationally, I successfully facilitated the purchase and donation of life-saving ventilators to hospitals across Vietnam during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Our organization played a critical role in saving the lives of many critically ill patients, particularly during the nationwide lockdown and when the virus was at its most severe. Through tireless efforts and the generosity of our supporters, we raised enough funds to purchase hundreds of ventilators for hospitals in need. These machines were instrumental in keeping patients alive and assisting medical professionals in providing the best possible care.
