To Whom It May Concern

Acupuncturists Without Borders have been servicing our church, Mary Queen of Vietnam Church for over two months. They have come to provide acupuncture treatments for our parishioners every Sunday, providing us with stress relief and pain relief treatments. We really appreciate the dedication and attention that they give us.

Mary Queen of Vietnam Church has 6,000 parishioners and even in this post-disaster period, about 1,500 people come to Mass every Sunday. We service the Vietnamese community and it has been a blessing to have acupuncture services available because our parishioners see this as a culture appropriate service.

The Acupuncturists Without Borders have been amazingly friendly, accommodating, and patient with the linguistic and logistical barriers we have experienced. After receiving an acupuncture treatment myself, I felt an amazing release of tension. At this time in our lives that is one of the best things we can ask for.
