Ma Muoi: A Lifetime of Love and Legacy
At 90 years old, Ma Muoi stands as a true beacon of compassion and resilience. After the war, she discovered that many of her friends were lost, leaving their children behind. Unable to walk away, she opened her heart and home to these orphaned children. Over the years, as more children in need arrived, Ma Moi and her heavily disabled husband dedicated themselves to providing a safe haven, no matter the challenges.
Today, Ma Muoi cares for both healthy and severely disabled children, many of whom require lifelong support. Her mission is to ensure every child, regardless of their circumstances, has the chance for an education and a brighter future. Through tireless effort, she has created not just a shelter, but a thriving community of hope, love, and opportunity.
