Dieu Giac Shelter – Where Fragile Lives Rediscover the Warmth of Love
Amid the relentless pace of Saigon, there exists a quiet, steadfast haven that shelters vulnerable souls left abandoned and homeless—Dieu Giac Love Shelter, a shared home for over 100 orphaned and destitute children.
Here, some infants, just days old, are leaving at the temple gates without a birth certificate or a single relative. Others have grown up within the shelter, from their first toddling steps to school, to the day they suicidally held a graduation diploma in their hands.
The nuns at Dieu Giac are more than caregivers; they are like mothers, quietly nurturing and tending to every meal and moment of rest for the children. The monthly costs for food, education, and daily needs of over 100 children weigh heavily on the shoulders of those who care for them.
Yet, through the love and generosity of the community, and the compassionate hearts from near and far, these children are given the chance to rewrite their stories. They go to school, grow up like other children, and transform from abandoned souls into members of a true family—a place warmed not only by food and shelter but by the boundless embrace of human kindness.
