A second chance at a better life through Compassion Homes
The rumble of thunder from a distance is a sound familiar to Mrs. Ty and her family. In Vietnam’s Phu Yen district, where they lived for years, it rains up to 250 days a year, with rainfall nearly nonstop from July to October. The damage to their home during these months was always severe, leaving the family in constant distress and discomfort. Their modest house made of bamboo, iron sheets, and coconut leaves barely kept the rain and wind out. They would bear the cold at night, and wake up with their clothes and blankets soaked from the downpour.
