By texting DACAM to 1409, an individual can donate 18,000 VND to the appeal.  

The campaign was first launched in 2012, and it has, to date, raised more than 18 billion VND (790,020 USD), including over 4.2 billion VND (184,338 USD) in 2016. 

As a result of the donations, numerous care and rehabilitation facilities have been built for AO victims nationwide, along with financial support delivered directly to victims throughout the country.
