Our Story

VMAF was founded in the midst of a summer with Kristy Nguyen, founder of the nonprofit, and her mother, who loves Vietnam very much. Because of Kristy’s love for Vietnam and medicine, she decided to find a way to help the citizens of Vietnam. Alongside Kristy were also other individuals who helped immensely with the setup of the nonprofit: Arianna Shiroff, Audrey Stika, and Alex Baranyai. By working with a team of medical professionals in Vietnam, VMAF can deploy medical trucks and ambulances to people in need. Many citizens cannot afford ambulances, so VMAF makes it their mission to help relieve this stressor for individuals, paying for medical trucks and even caskets.
