It is a gesture of gratitude to their adoptive country, which welcomed them with open arms more than 40 years ago.<br><br>\r\n\r\nWhen the regime fell in 1975, Mr. Ho Huu fled the country with his five children and his wife, who was 8 months pregnant. They spent 11 days at sea on a rickety fishing boat, thirsty and hungry, before arriving in Thailand. Ms. Ho Huu delivered their baby four days later.<br><br>\r\n\r\nAn uncle who already lived in Canada sponsored the Ho Huu family. Once here, they had to start from zero. Mr. Ho Huu found a job at a florist. And took night courses to earn a diploma as a computer operator. This paved the way to a job at Rona. He was a loyal employee for 21 years, before taking his well-earned retirement in 1997.<br><br>\r\n\r\nIn 2001, Ms. Ho Huu had a stroke. She was treated by the medical teams at H\u00f4pital Charles-Le Moyne. This event moved Mr. Ho Huu to support the Hospital.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ho Huu family, who fled Vietnam and emigrated to Qu\u00e9bec, made a major donation in a gesture of gratitude to their adoptive country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":675,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-931","gens-de-coeur","type-gens-de-coeur","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fhclm.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gens-de-coeur\/931","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fhclm.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gens-de-coeur"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fhclm.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/gens-de-coeur"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fhclm.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gens-de-coeur\/931\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fhclm.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/675"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fhclm.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=931"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
