The Lifestart Foundation team extends its heartfelt gratitude to Don Cracknell for his steadfast support and remarkable generosity. His kindness and enduring legacy will continue to fund transformative projects that uplift communities and change lives.

Donโ€™s connection to Vietnam began when his daughter-in-law volunteered as a physiotherapist with the Lifestart Foundation many years ago. This sparked a deep interest in the country and its people, particularly those facing significant disadvantage. Over the years, Don became a committed supporter of Lifestartโ€™s initiatives, visiting Vietnam several times and forming a heartfelt bond with its culture and people.

Through Lifestart Foundation, Don dedicated himself to improving the lives of families and students by funding vital initiatives in housing, transport, and education. His extraordinary contributions include:

๐Ÿ”ธ160 emergency relief hampers for families in need
๐Ÿ”ธ63 bicycles and 3 electric bikes for improved mobility
๐Ÿ”ธ2 clean water systems for access to safe drinking water for hundreds of children and families
๐Ÿ”ธ5 kitchen and bathroom projects for families lacking basic facilities
๐Ÿ”ธSupporting one General Medicine student through university to graduation

Donโ€™s life journey was just as remarkable. Raised in and around Melbourne, he trained as an electrician with the Railways before pursuing studies in Christian Education and Theology. After marrying his wife, Meryl, in 1964, Don dedicated nine years to mission work in Papua New Guinea. Upon returning to Australia in 1977, he served in various parishes with the Uniting Church, focusing on Christian education and ministry. In 2013, Don retired to Warragul, Victoria, where he continued to inspire others with his compassion and dedication.

Even in his passing, Donโ€™s generosity of spirit endures, leaving a legacy of hope and transformation that will touch countless lives for years to come.

With gratitude and respect,
The Lifestart Foundation Team

Lifestart Foundation is committing a total of $20,000 raised during our emergency relief campaign. This support will be provided to hundreds of families impacted by the historic floods that struck the central region last October and November. ๐ŸŒง๏ธ๐Ÿ™

The Lifestart Foundation team has been working tirelessly to organize Emergency Relief Distribution Days for those affected. Recently, our team visited the home of our scholarship student Nhi, whose household items were severely damaged following a series of devastating floods. ๐ŸŒ€๐Ÿ’”

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ง Nhi comes from a family of six, including her mother, older sister, older brother, her twin sister, and herself. Sadly, tragedy struck when her father passed away in a traffic accident seven years ago. Since then, her mother has been the sole breadwinner, working tirelessly despite fragile health and an unstable income. She earns around 5 million VND (approximately $303 AUD) per month while also requiring regular medication, yet she never stops striving to secure a better future for her children.

After the floods, due to the familyโ€™s home being located in a low-lying area, floodwaters rose to over 2 meters, causing severe damage to their belongings. Many essential items were swept away, including books, school supplies, and kitchen items, which were either destroyed or rendered unusable after being submerged. Their wardrobe was completely flooded, resulting in damaged clothing and ruined school uniforms. Nhiโ€™s school bag and contents were also soaked and could no longer be used. In addition, major household appliances such as the refrigerator and washing machine were badly damaged by the floodwaters. ๐Ÿš๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ข

Thanks to the generous donations received, the familyโ€™s immediate burden has been eased. This support has enabled them to repair parts of their home, purchase essential items, and fix damaged belongings. The images shared reflect both the extent of the damage and the recovery made possible through the kindness and generosity of our donors. ๐ŸŒฑโœจ๐Ÿ’›

Once again, we extend our sincere and heartfelt gratitude to all the wonderful donors who made this campaign possible and incredibly successful. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’–

Tra Giap is a highland commune historically part of Bac Tra My District, Quang Nam Province. Approximately 140 km from Hoi An, the area is home to Ca Dong, Co, and other ethnic minority communities who face long-term economic hardship. With high poverty rates and livelihoods mainly dependent on subsistence farming, residents continue to experience shortages of basic necessities, while students often lack access to reliable transportation and adequate learning conditions.

Through this initiative, the Lifestart Foundation extended its support beyond providing bicycles for students to travel to school safely. Families also received electric fans and warm blankets to help them cope with extreme weather conditions, ensuring comfort and protection at home. In addition, household hamper boxes supplied essential food items and daily necessities, easing financial burdens and enabling families to focus on education and rebuilding their lives.

Our team of four staff and one volunteer travelled for three and a half hours through steep, winding mountain roads to reach Tra Giap. This area had been affected by landslides and extremely poor road conditions. Despite the challenging journey, the smiles and gratitude of the students and families made every effort worthwhile.

Lifestart Foundation sincerely thanks all supporters whose contributions make these initiatives possible. Together, we continue to create opportunities, improve living conditions and bring hope to those who need it most.

Stay tuned for many more Lifestart Foundation donation day updates, where we will share detailed posts about each donation including bicycles, electric fans, warm blankets and household hamper boxes, reaching students and families in need.

Tra Giap is a highland commune historically part of Bac Tra My District, Quang Nam Province. Approximately 140 km from Hoi An, the area is home to Ca Dong, Co, and other ethnic minority communities who face long-term economic hardship. With high poverty rates and livelihoods mainly dependent on subsistence farming, residents continue to experience shortages of basic necessities, while students often lack access to reliable transportation and adequate learning conditions.  Through this initiative, the Lifestart Foundation extended its support beyond providing bicycles for students to travel to school safely. Families also received electric fans and warm blankets to help them cope with extreme weather conditions, ensuring comfort and protection at home. In addition, household hamper boxes supplied essential food items and daily necessities, easing financial burdens and enabling families to focus on education and rebuilding their lives.  Our team of four staff and one volunteer travelled for three and a half hours through steep, winding mountain roads to reach Tra Giap. This area had been affected by landslides and extremely poor road conditions. Despite the challenging journey, the smiles and gratitude of the students and families made every effort worthwhile.  Lifestart Foundation sincerely thanks all supporters whose contributions make these initiatives possible. Together, we continue to create opportunities, improve living conditions and bring hope to those who need it most.  Stay tuned for many more Lifestart Foundation donation day updates, where we will share detailed posts about each donation including bicycles, electric fans, warm blankets and household hamper boxes, reaching students and families in need.  ๐Ÿ’™ Your likes and shares help us reach even more communities in need.  ๐Ÿ”— ๐๐ฅ๐ž๐š๐ฌ๐ž ๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ž ๐š๐›๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฃ๐ž๐œ๐ญ ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ž: https://vietnamnews.vn/society/1732356/lifestart-continues-support-programmes-to-tra-giap-community.html  A special #THANKYOU to Viแป‡t Nam News for featuring and acknowledging this special project in your newspaper.  #LifestartFoundation #communitysupport #HamperBoxDonation #BikeDonation #BlanketDonation #FanDonationImage attachmentImage attachment+Image attachment
