This August, our community came together to make a direct, tangible impact at Martino Charity Home. By coordinating closely with the home’s dedicated caretakers, we tailored this month’s delivery to meet their most urgent priorities—ensuring the kitchen stays fully stocked and daily life continues seamlessly for the children.
What Your Generosity Provided This Month:
- Pantry Staples: Bags of rice, sticky rice, cooking oil, eggs, and milk
- Quick Meals & Flavor: Packages of vermicelli noodles, instant soup boxes, mayonnaise, and chili sauce
- Everyday Essentials: Toiletries, dishwashing liquid, trash cans, and delicious snacks for the kids
The caretakers shared some heartwarming photos of the children enjoying their routines this past month—a beautiful reminder of the stability, warmth, and joy your ongoing support creates.
Every single delivery is a team effort. A deep, heartfelt thank you to Steven Burger, Long Nguyen, and Elaine Nguyen. Thank you!
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.
