Our May delivery to the Martino Charity Home was a massive success! By working closely with the home’s caretakers, we were able to tailor our donation to their exact, real-time needs—ensuring the home remains fully stocked and running smoothly.
Thanks to your incredible support, we delivered a comprehensive supply of essentials, including:
- Pantry Staples: Bags of rice, vermicelli and shrimp noodles, soy sauce, and boxes of instant soup.
- Fresh Goods & Nutrition: Meats, milk, condensed milk, and snacks.
- Household Essentials: Toilet paper and clothes hangers.
A Special Treat
Delivery day turned into a celebration when the caretakers surprised the little ones with ice cream popsicles! To make things sweeter, the staff shared some adorable photos of the children from last month, reminding us all exactly why we do this.
This mission is only possible because of our community’s generosity. A huge, heartfelt thank you to Steven Burger and an anonymous donor for making this delivery happen!
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.
