Thanks to our wonderful community of supporters, September was filled with warm smiles and full pantries at the Martino Charity Home! By working closely alongside the home’s dedicated caretakers, we created a custom delivery plan tailored to the children’s immediate needs—keeping daily routines running smoothly and reliably.
This month’s delivery brought a wide variety of essential provisions right to their doorstep, including fresh milk, noodles, instant soup, cooking oil, essential meats, flour, seasonings, cleaning supplies, and plenty of fun snacks for the kids.
The caretakers recently sent back wonderful photos of the children thriving in their daily activities. It’s a touching reminder of the stability, comfort, and joy your contributions provide every single day.
Deliveries like this are only possible because of you. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing alongside these children. A deep, heartfelt thank you to this visit’s donors: Steven Burger, Shaun Minn, Sarah To, and Vanessa Nguyen.
ABOUT THE MARTINO CHARITY HOME
This loving home is located in rural Quang Tri province, 90 kilometers northwest of Hue. The area is home to the Bru-Van Kieu ethnic group, who have a unique language and culture, and extend from central Vietnam into Laos and Thailand. There is much poverty in this region, which puts undue pressure on families. The Martino Charity Home was founded to house and care for young children in the area whose families struggle to support and provide for them. The home is adjacent the Phuoc Tuyen Catholic Church and overseen by Father Nguyen Thi Thu Huong. About 33 children aged 6 to 11 live at the home year round. The nuns and caretakers provide housing, meals, and a loving environment for the children to grow and thrive. The children attend local elementary schools and receive extra tutoring at the home.
