In loving memory of Benjamin Vo

Love in His Name

In the weeks after Ben went home to God, his family opened his piggy bank. Every coin he had quietly saved, they carried back across the world — and, joined by the kindness of friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers, it became milk, rice, food, and everyday supplies for the Sisters who care for children with Down syndrome at the Hy Vọng Cẩm Đức home in Vietnam.

A boy’s small savings, become bread for God’s littlest children. This is what Ben’s life keeps doing — turning love into more love.

A well of living water — Cà Mau

A family friend gave a clean-water well, drilled in the village of Lương Thế Trân, Cà Mau province in the Mekong Delta, and dedicated it in Ben's name. Its plaque reads “Giếng Khoan Baotixita — Anh Benjamin Đại Dương Võ · 2026.”

Ben's middle name, Đại Dương, means “Great Ocean.” Now a spring of fresh water flows in his name — for a village that had none.

Rice and sugar for the poor

From Ben's piggy bank, too — bags of rice and sugar, carried door to door and placed gently into the hands of the elderly and the poor.

Hundreds fed, hand to hand

His piggy bank reached further still. In Ben’s name, hundreds of portions of food — rice, meat, and more — were packed into bags and given, one by one, into the hands of the elderly and the poor along the street. Not in a single place, but spread across many, in many small acts of love.

One coin at a time, one bag at a time, one soul at a time — Ben’s love keeps being handed to someone who needed it.

The children of Hy Vọng Cẩm Đức

The Sisters of Hy Vọng Cẩm Đức (“Hope of Cẩm Đức”) give a home, a family, and daily care to children with Down syndrome and special needs. If Ben’s story moves you, you can meet them and support them directly:

Do something small in Ben’s name

A meal shared, a kindness given, a prayer offered — every small good done in his memory is another coin from his piggy bank, still giving.
