I firmly believe that I would not be here were it not for the keen eyes and quick triggers of Nhan, Kiet, Sa, Bao, Nghia and the others.<\/p>\n<p>I have already received money and pledges from &#8220;the usual suspects&#8221; as a result of posting on our FB page.  My goal wass to collect at least $500.00 by April 1. We exceeded that and to date we have collected $1750.00.  I had sent $750.00 to my stepson, Ho Van Tuan, and he got the money to Nhan, who attended Kiet&#8217;s funeral.  I had received more donations and sent them to Tuan who forwarded them to Hue, Kiet&#8217;s wife.  I just received $100.00 which will go out the next time I send tuition monies for our other two kids, which will be in about two weeks.  It is not too late to help.  As usual, I will keep all donations private.<\/p>\n<p>I have come to love and admire many Vietnamese people, especially my wife, Lan and Nhan and while I hate to label or classify any person(s), I have to say that were they able they would give more than they get.  <\/p>\n<p>You can send a check or money order to:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sal DiSciascio<br \/>\n698 Prescott Rd<br \/>\nNew Bern, NC 28560<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>or <\/p>\n<form action=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr\" method=\"post\" target=\"_top\">\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"cmd\" value=\"_s-xclick\"><br \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"hosted_button_id\" value=\"BQX74SE4YJXG6\"><br \/>\n<input type=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/btn\/btn_donateCC_LG.gif\" border=\"0\" name=\"submit\" alt=\"PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/scr\/pixel.gif\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\"><br \/>\n<\/form>\n<p>Rest in Peace, Brother Kiet.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you,<\/p>\n<p>Sal<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gentleman, Family and Friends; I recently learned that our friend, Kiet, suffered a massive stroke and has passed away.
