Our March delivery was a success! Working closely with the home’s caretakers to ensure we met their specific needs, we provided a comprehensive restock of essential food and household items.
What We Delivered
To keep the pantry full and the home running smoothly, we supplied:
- Pantry Staples: Rice cakes, rice paper, and various seasonings.
- Quick Meals: Shrimp noodles, spicy noodles, and boxes of instant pho.
- Fresh Essentials: Racks of eggs and fresh milk.
- Household Care: Bulk washing liquid.
Spreading Joy
The caretakers shared some wonderful photos of the children from last month—seeing their bright smiles reminds us exactly why we do this. They are truly adorable!
Heartfelt Thanks to Our Donors
This mission wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of our community. A huge thank you to Steven Burger, Autumn Mejia, Roger Puckett, and Littlechad Newfield.
We also want to acknowledge a special donation from Avani Macwan, given in loving memory of Prakash Macwan.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this delivery possible!
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.
