The Well with Cancer Program was initiated by Friends of Hue’s beloved late Executive Director, Jenny Do, inspired by her own personal battle with cancer. Through her firsthand experience, Jenny recognized the challenges many Vietnamese families faced navigating the healthcare system — particularly language barriers, cultural stigma, and limited access to reliable information.
The program provided Vietnamese community members in the Bay Area with connections to medical resources, translation assistance, financial aid information, and emotional support networks. Through volunteers and community partners, patients and their families received guidance, companionship, and culturally sensitive support during a deeply difficult time. The initiative reflects Jenny’s legacy and Friends of Hue’s commitment to advancing health equity within underserved communities.
The Well with Cancer program provided support and resources to Vietnamese community members in the Bay Area facing cancer diagnoses. Friends of Hue recognized that language barriers, cultural stigma, and lack of information often left Vietnamese patients and their families navigating the healthcare system alone.
Through this program, FHF connected cancer patients with medical resources, financial assistance information, and emotional support networks. Volunteers provided translation services, helped families understand treatment options, and offered companionship during a deeply difficult time.
This program reflects FHF’s broader commitment to health equity — ensuring that Vietnamese and other underserved community members have access to the care and information they need, regardless of language or cultural background.
While this program has concluded, your donation helps FHF continue serving our community through other vital programs.
