Based in Toronto, Canada, the Vietnamese Sick Children Assistance Society (VSCAS) was founded in February 2003 in response to a request from the family of a little girl name Dan Nhi whose bladder exstrophy case could not be treated in Vietnam due to the lack of advanced medical equipment and the exorbitant associated costs that her under-privileged family could not afford.<\/p>\n

Our call for help was warmly responded by the Vietnamese community in Toronto then across North America. Our goal is to operate as a humanitarian organization mobilizing our large Vietnamese community to help sick children in Vietnam who were born with physical defects to have a chance to benefit from the advanced scientific technology in Canada. In these special cases, our organization seeks the compassionate assistance of Herbie Fund (HF) of the SickKids Foundation, a charitable arm of the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, to bring the child to Canada for treatment. The Herbie Fund of SickKids Foundation pays for all treatment costs, however VSCAS covers for all other costs such as return air fares, health insurance, accommodation, food, transportation, etc. for the child and the accompanied parent. VSCAS also pays for all pre-and post treatment required tests that are not covered by HF.<\/p>\n

Since 2003, VSCAS has helped 19 children including 6 that were eligible for the Herbie Fund program that were sponsored by VSCAS to Toronto for treatment at the Hospital for Sick Children.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
