In place of flowers, those who loved Ben helped build homes for the poor in Vietnam — so that, in his 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 →
In the months since Ben went home to God, many friends, family, neighbors and coworkers gave to the Xây Nhà Tình Thương (charity homes) program in Vietnam in his memory — so that families with nowhere to rest might be given a home of their own. Our family never handled any of those gifts; each person gave from their own heart, quietly, in Ben's name.
A boy who is no longer here, and somewhere a family sleeping under a roof because of him.
If you gave, thank you — you never needed to tell us, and we may never know your name. God does.
Every kindness done in his name is another coin from his piggy bank, still giving. 🤍
