From Heart Defect to Heart Warming

Toan's life began with a challenge that seemed insurmountable. Born in 1991 in Dai Loc district, Quang Nam province, Vietnam, he came into the world with a Ventricular Septal Defect, a condition that strained both his fragile heart and his family's finances. As the youngest of three children, the burden of his life-saving surgery loomed large.

Today, Toan is a thriving graphic designer, creating art and beauty from his own experiences. In 2022, he married a young lady who works at Ba Na Hills, a renowned tourism spot in Da Nang. Their love blossomed, and they welcomed a precious 5-month-old daughter into their lives.
