VIVA plays a vital role in supporting families like ours. Raising a child takes a village, and raising a child with cancer requires even more effort, time, and resources. VIVA has been there at every stage—diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and now survivorship.

“One support that I have gathered from VIVA is a programme where they have invited doctors from around the world to come to Singapore to hold a session where they shared about beyond survivorship. This is something that I was not aware of, I did not know there were such implications on survivors. This programme gave me comfort, support and an avenue to go to and allowed me to meet other parents like me, and survivors like my son, Jovan. Thank you Mrs Yeo, I'm so glad that you founded this foundation and help many children like Jovan, who has benefitted so much, directly and indirectly. There are no words that I can use to express my gratitude.”

“Hi, my name is Marianne, and my son, Joel Lim, is one of the beneficiaries of the VIVA Foundation.

He was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) in 2005. We have been on this journey with VIVA for many years and have benefited tremendously from their research collaboration with St. Jude and other medical institutions worldwide.

This research has been life-changing for my son, ensuring he received the timely treatment he needed. We are forever grateful for everything VIVA has done for Joel. Their collaboration with top hospitals, including St. Jude, and other leading medical groups has had a significant impact."
