With the support of ONUS, The Sharing Kitchen had the opportunity to donate áo dài (traditional Vietnamese dress) to the children at Huế Children's Hospital & Ho Chi Minh City during Tết Ất Tỵ 2025
Understanding this, The Sharing Kitchen and Crypto For Life are calling on the ONUS community, the FUNDGO fund, and Cardano4Good to join hands for the campaign "A Complete Tết for the Children" for the Year of Bính Ngọ 2026.
The campaign aims to bring Tết joy to children undergoing cancer treatment at Children's Hospital 3 in Ho Chi Minh City, while also sending Tết gifts to Children's Hospital 2 and Huế Central Pediatric Hospital, so that this Tết, the children can still feel love and the warmth of spring.
The adorable little "bald warriors" in traditional áo dài
For many children, Tết is the excitement of wearing new clothes, receiving lucky money, and gathering around a warm family meal. But somewhere, in hospital rooms lit through the night, some children celebrate Tết in a very different way… No joyful laughter, no fireworks or apricot blossoms — only the sound of IV drips and the quiet pain of their treatment journey.
Yet in those clear, innocent eyes, faith and hope still shine: to be healthy again, to go home, to paste red couplets with mom and dad, to stroll through the Tết market with their siblings. Despite their frail bodies, the children keep in their hearts a beautiful spring, a simple dream full of resilience.
Tết is only truly complete when its joy and warmth reach every child, no matter where they are. Join us in lighting up a spring of love through the "Sharing Tết 2026" campaign, so that this Tết, the children's smiles will bloom again, like golden apricot blossoms carrying New Year blessings.
