"Benefits Received from the Country, Want to Contribute Back" Envelope Delivered in Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] An elderly woman who requested anonymity is warming the local community by donating cash, saying she wants to give back the benefits she received from the country during this difficult time when the entire nation is struggling due to the spread of COVID-19.

According to Gwangsan District, Gwangju Metropolitan City, around 3 p.m. the previous day, an elderly woman estimated to be in her 70s, wearing a hat and mask to cover her face, visited the Unnam-dong Administrative Welfare Center and left a white envelope.

The envelope contained 300,000 won in cash.

When a staff member chased after her to ask for her name and contact information, the woman said, "I have received many benefits from the country so far, so now I want to contribute even a little to overcoming the country's difficult situation," and then left.

A representative of the Unnam-dong Administrative Welfare Center expressed gratitude, saying, "We thank the anonymous donor who showed warm kindness during this nationally difficult time due to COVID-19," and added, "We will use this precious donation to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and to support the healthy lives of local residents."
