Urgent Care for a Global Humanitarian

Donation protected
Son Michael Pham is recognized globally as one of the world’s most generous and tireless humanitarians. A Vietnam native who narrowly escaped during Saigon’s collapse, Son has led dozens of trips back to his homeland to aid orphans, schools, disabled children, and much more. His Seattle-area charity, “Kids Without Borders” serves thousands in the USA.
Now Son lies in critical condition in a Bangkok hospital after a near-drowning incident on Oct. 23 in Vietnam. Support is essential to his survival. While there are many types of medical expenses your gift would help cover, we are facing an imminent need for funding for medical transfer. We have just learned that his Bangkok doctors feel Son would be best cared for in the United States. Doctors are working to prepare Son Michael for medical transport as soon as next week. These costs will be immediate and substantial. The cost of medical transport from Vietnam to Thailand was $55,000 and the medical transport cost to the US will be considerably more.

Your donation--no matter how small--will assist us in meeting Son Michael's medical care needs, including this imminent medical transfer.

Please support medical care funding for this compassionate man who has given so much to so many.

Eternally grateful,
Friends of Son Michael Pham
