Urgent appeal to reunite Canadian family by bringing ailing wife and mother of three boys back from Vietnam
S.U.C.C.E.S.S., the Lac Viet Public Education Society, and the
BC Nurses' Union are joining forces to try to help the family
of Chinh Ngo
S.U.C.C.E.S.S., the Lac Viet Public Education Society, and the BC Nurses' Union have issued a joint appeal for help for the family of Chinh Ngo, a Vietnamese-Canadian woman who was stricken with the debilitating effects of ALS, and forced into hospital on a respirator while on a visit to say farewell to her extended family in Vietnam.
Her family is desperate to bring her back to Canada so she can spend her last days with her husband and three sons in Victoria. What's required is an expensive medical evacuation.
S.U.C.C.E.S.S., the Lac Viet Public Education Society, and the BC Nurses' Union held a news conference featuring Chinh Ngo's husband, Johnny Huynh, his three sons, and others who revealed the next steps in their frantic effort to reunite the family.
Donations can be made at any branch of the Coast Capital Savings to the Huynh family trust fund.
