The Love Boat: Vietnam Flood Relief

Donation protected
Hi friends!
Some of you may know that I was born in central Vietnam.  When we say it takes a village to raise a child; I am that child! My early memories are of the village elders watching out for my and other children's safety and well-being while our parents were working in the fields or fighting to make ends meet. I loved when the elders gave me yummy treats! :)

It is with a heavy heart that I share with you that this region is suffering from one of the most devastating floods in over 20+ years.  The water has rushed into many homes in the past couple of weeks and they are predicting that it will continue into November.

Many children and elders are hungry and stuck in this ocean of water in their own home.  In some places the water has gone up to their ceiling and folks have literally sat on their roof waiting for the water to recede. They have lost their crops, livestocks and so so much more. This is in addition to the existing struggle of the pandemic we're all facing. Their situations are dire. The locals are doing their best to share their resources but they need our love and financial support.

Your donations will bring emergency relief supplies to many people who are affected by this natural disaster.  I will make sure that your contribution gets to a local member of the community who I am in communication with and trust. No middle person.

WE HAVE AN ANONYMOUS DONOR WHO WILL MATCH up to $500!

Will you add, $1, $5, or any amount that you're able, share this with your network, and/or send a prayer for these folks?

Sending so much gratitude for your contribution to this Love Boat and much love to you and yours during these difficult times. 

With a hopeful heart,
Kim Nguyen
