Maison Chance was created in 1993 by Aline Rebeaud, a young Swiss artist. It is the outcome of her personal commitment to the most disadvantaged sector of society in Vietnam.

During an extensive trip throughout Asia, Aline, aged 20, arrived in Vietnam. One evening, on a street corner of Ho Chi Minh City, she found a child sobbing inconsolably and all alone. She quickly became aware of the desperate conditions which orphans must endure when forced to live out on the streets. A second encounter was to change her life. She was visiting a psychiatric asylum when she met Thanh, who was just twelve years old. He was barely alive, chained to the floor. His state of health was catastrophic and everyone was convinced that he was about to die. But Aline refused to listen to this diagnostic and took it upon herself to look after him. She took him to hospital so he could receive treatment for his liver, lung and heart conditions. In Vietnam, hospital treatment is so basic that family or friends must perform much of the work normally done by nurses and must also provide food for the patient. She took care of him and stayed with him all through the three long months that he was in hospital, paying for the treatment by selling her paintings. When they came out of hospital, Aline was christened "Tim" by the other patients who showed her the sign in the hospital: "Tim Mach": Cardiology Hospital; "Tim" means "heart" in Vietnamese.
