In place of flowers, our family is helping to build homes for the poor in Vietnam — so that, in Ben's memory, a family with nowhere to rest might be given a home of their own. A lasting light, carried in his name.
Ben's own piggy bank has already become food for children with Down syndrome in Vietnam — see the love done in his name →
The homes are built by Hội Bác Ái Phanxicô (Franciscan Charity), a U.S. registered non-profit, through their Xây Nhà Tình Thương program. Gifts go directly to the charity — our family doesn't handle the funds. There are just two small steps to give in Ben's name.
Open the program page, scroll down to the Donate button, and give whatever is on your heart — one time, or monthly.
The donation form has no place to dedicate a gift, so please do one of these (either is enough — both if you'd like). No amount is ever needed.
