Thanks to our incredible supporters, July’s delivery to the Martino Charity Home was a complete success!
By coordinating directly with the home’s dedicated caretakers, we were able to tailor this month’s restock to match their exact, immediate priorities—ensuring the kitchen remains fully stocked and daily life runs smoothly for everyone.
This month, your support provided a robust bundle of essential supplies, including:
- Pantry Staples: Cooking oil, soy sauce, rice cakes, packages of vermicelli, shrimp noodles, and boxes of instant noodle soup
- Fresh Provisions & Dairy: Fresh milk, duck eggs, and condensed milk
- Household Essentials & Snacks: Toilet paper and a variety of treats for the children
The caretakers also passed along some wonderful photos of the kids from this past month—a beautiful reminder of the comfort, stability, and smiles your generosity makes possible.
We couldn’t do any of this without our compassionate community. A deep, heartfelt thank you to Steven Burger who made this July delivery a reality!
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.
