A Gift of Hope

Thanks to the generosity of Dr. Alan Brown, a Board member of Loose Cannons Inc., and an anonymous donor, Thinh recently received a brand-new computer and desk set. This incredible gift has opened up a world of possibilities for the young man, providing him with the tools he needs to pursue his passion.

A Family’s Resilience

Thinh’s family has been deeply affected by Agent Orange. His father, Le Xuan Binh, suffers from severe disabilities due to his grandfather’s exposure to the toxic chemical. Thinh’s mother, the only breadwinner in the family, works tirelessly to provide for them.

Despite the hardships they face, Thinh’s family remains united and supportive. His older brother, Le Xuan Dat, a college student studying physics, has been a constant source of encouragement. Dat also receives a monthly scholarship provided by Veterans For Peace, which further supports his education.

A Bright Future

Thinh’s dream of becoming a graphic designer reflects his resilience and determination. With the support of his family, friends, and generous donors who have believed in him, Thinh is well on his way to achieving his goals.
