In October 2025, our mission to support the Martino Charity Home continued with a significant delivery of food and essential supplies. Following a detailed consultation with the caretakers, we organized a direct shipment of their most critical monthly needs, including:
- Rice, noodles, eggs, and various meats.
- Milk, soy sauce, and children’s snacks.
- Laundry detergent and general household supplies.
The caretakers shared wonderful updates, including adorable photos of the children enjoying last month’s Mid-Autumn Festival.
This impactful support is a direct result of the incredible generosity of Steven Burger. Thank you for making this effort 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.
