Seongbuk-gu Gireum 2-dong "Cheer Up Daegu!" ... Donations Continue

Basic Livelihood Security Recipients' Donations Lead to Community Donation Expansion... A Seongbuk-gu Student Donates 300,000 Won to Daegu COVID-19 Designated Hospital

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] In Gireum 2-dong, Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro), a case was recently reported in the media where a basic livelihood security recipient canceled their insurance and donated the money to share the difficulties caused by COVID-19, sparking donations from various sectors.

Recently, a call was received at the Gireum 2-dong Community Service Center from a quiet student named Jo, who is currently attending Hanil High School. Despite being a busy high school senior preparing for university entrance, Jo regularly participates in volunteer activities every month and actively helps those in need by donating part of his allowance monthly to the local welfare center.

To convey the meaning of sharing, he expressed his wish to donate 300,000 won, which he and his two younger siblings received as New Year's money during the Seollal holiday, to a designated hospital in Daegu.

Kim Yong-in, head of Gireum 2-dong, said, “I was deeply moved to see students practicing such generous donations that even adults find difficult. I express my sincere gratitude to the students, and the donated funds will be properly delivered to the COVID-19 frontline in Daegu.”

Seongbuk-gu Gireum 2-dong’s donation by a basic livelihood security recipient was followed by a ping-pong donation from a philanthropist in Daegu, and now it is spreading as a warm relay donation within the local community.

The donated funds will be designated and entrusted to a COVID-19 designated hospital according to the donor’s wishes.
