A story
It all began with a simple act of kindness. I was traveling through Asia, when I drew an old lady on a busy street market. Her eyes held a lifetime of stories and her smile has won over millions of hearts worldwide. Later I discovered that she was struggling to make ends meet, had lost all of her children and had to pick up bottles on the streets. With your donations we helped her but new stuff, renovate her house, get medical help and set a monthly allowance for her, that let her finally live fully and enjoy her life.
This example touched me deeply.
It was a testament of the power of human connection. How the world can unite in order to help one individual. And if we did it once - we can surely do it again and again. We can help hundreds and even more. We need to look after elders, especially, in Asia, where government support is very low.

I am taking a leap of faith
I am starting Samalia Swan Foundation to reach out to more elderly individuals in Asia, offering them the same support and hope for a better future. I believe that every elderly deserves a chance to live with dignity, hope and purpose. By giving them our love and support - we make their last years shine. My mission goes beyond art. Each drawing is a doorway to connections, a way to learn about their lives, their struggles and their dreams. When I find someone in need, I step in to provide direct financial assistance, helping them with basic needs, housing, healthcare, or anything that will transform their lives.

The Power of a Drawing
Every story will begin with a drawing, just like Granny Thuy's. I believe that my unique approach can create even bigger impact. And get wider recognition all over the world, bringing more attention to the cause.
