About me: My family is very difficult now. At the moment, my mother is having a dangerous disease, breast cancer and it has been cut one side and she is being treated to prevent it from spreading to the other side. It is costing us a lot of money not only the treatment but also the cost for her to go Ho Chi Minh for treatment. My father, who was set free from prison some years ago, is a builder assistant which is a low income job. In addition, my father has lung problem so his health doesn’t allow him to work much. As a result, it is definitely out of his ability to pay for my school fee and my mother’s treatment. I am always destitute in school equipment, books in comparison with my friends. I don’t have chance to take extra classes as my family is too difficult. I wish to receive your concern, and care so that I can have betterment in my study. I am so grateful.

About me: Her brother has cerebral palsy and she has low mental ability. The father is a builder assistant and he earns about $60 a month. Her mother has to stay at home to take care of my brother. The local government gave my mother some fund to open a small grocery shop in our house to earn more income for the family. But, most of the money my parents earn and little help from local government are used for my brother treatment but it is not enough. I hope to receive help and chance for me take extra classes.

About me: My parents are getting older and weaker, thus their income is decreasing too. Now we all are relying on our oldest brother, an electrical worker, who is going to get married soon. My second brother is a third year student now. I recently passed the entrance exam and I am going to be the first year student. As two of us are in university and we surely have to pay a lot of money for schooling which is out of my parent’s ability so my father asks one of us must quit school. We are finding ways to solve the problem and asking help. We hope to receive some help so that we have chance to further our study.

LOVE's commitment to our sponsors and the children/families: 1. We will send progress reports twice a year and when special needs occur such as severe illness. 2. We will translate all correspondence between you and the child. 3. We will deliver letters, packages, etc. (many cannot receive mail at their homes). We encourage sponsors to: 1. Be faithful in your financial commitment. 2. Build a relationship with the child/family: Write letters or emails to the child at least twice a year. Generously share your Christian faith! 3. Send gifts for birthdays, Christmas, and Tet, when you can. (or send us money and tell us what to buy...that is usually more cost effective.) |

We often take the child shopping to see they get value per dollar. In most cases, we advise against giving more than a few dollars directly to the child in cash because they spend it unwisely, or a parent may take the money for cigarettes or beer, etc. LOVE charges a 10% administrative fee on all extra donations to help support other programs such as medical, dental and scholarships for children not yet sponsored. |

Other needs:  $30 can provide eye exam & glasses for a child. $50 will buy a bicycle.$200 can dig a well, or roof a small house. $50 to rent a house. $60 will buy a gas stove...most cook over wood or charcoal filling the house with smoke. $2,000 will build a 360 sq. ft. house for a family of 3.
-add $500 to enlarge for each additional 100 sq. ft. Cost is about 50% higher in remote areas. |

Our Calling: By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the loveof God abide in him? My little children, let us not love in word or
in tongue, but in deed and in truth. (1 John 3:16-18 NKJV) |
