My name is Vi, I was born with a serious heart condition and grew up in a broken home, without the love and presence of a father. My childhood was filled with fear and uncertainty. While other children returned home after medical checkups, I was the one who had to stay behind, facing the frightening reality of heart surgery.

But everything changed when Giving It Back To Kids (GIBTK) stepped into my life. Through the support of generous donors, I received the life-saving heart surgery I desperately needed. After my recovery, GIBTK welcomed me into Lighthouse — a safe and loving home where I finally found stability, care, and the sense of family I had been missing for so long.

Today, I am living a completely new chapter of life, with a healthy heart, a supportive community, and 100% of my university tuition fully sponsored, along with housing, meals, and holistic support for both my physical and emotional well-being.

My journey is proof that compassion can heal more than a heart — it can restore hope, dignity, and a future.
