An 80-Year-Old Grandmother in Uljin-gun's Year-End Event... Donates 199,920 Won Saved Little by Little Every Month

Elderly Im Buchil, 88, from Maemyeon: "If I don't donate... I feel like I have a debt in a corner of my heart"

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] An 80-year-old grandmother living in Uljin-gun, Gyeongbuk, has been warmly sharing a heartwarming story by saving the money she received from participating in the senior job program little by little and donating it as neighbor-helping funds for the second year in a row.

According to Uljin-gun on the 10th, on the 9th, Im Bu-chil (88), a resident of Maehwa 2-ri, Maehwa-myeon, visited the Maehwa-myeon office. The grandmother handed over to the office staff a total of 199,920 won, which she had saved over the past year by putting aside 16,660 won each month, from 10,000 won bills to 10 won coins, following last year.

Grandmother Im said, "When I participated in the senior job program before, I donated money from my monthly salary several times, but afterward, my circumstances were difficult, and I felt uneasy as if I had a debt in my heart. This year, I saved a little from January, and although it is not a large amount, please use it for neighbors who are more difficult and struggling than me."

Kwon Jae-hwan, head of Maehwa-myeon, expressed his gratitude, saying, "I was deeply moved by the elderly person's heart of practicing sharing every year, and it has greater value than any other sponsorship. I bow my head naturally to the great heart that thinks of neighbors and shares together."
