Suncheon City Supports 130 Love Silver Cars for Seniors' Safe Walking

Purchase of Silver Cars Partially Funded by Donations from Former Samhwa Enterprises CEO Park Ok-soon

[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Noh Kwan-gyu) announced on the 5th that it purchased 130 silver walkers, adult walking aids, and delivered them to elderly citizens with mobility difficulties.

This sponsored item was prepared with 20 million won out of the 50 million won donation entrusted by Park Ok-soon, former CEO of Samhwa Enterprises, who turned 90 in May, requesting that it be used to improve elderly welfare.

The city plans to use the remaining donation to purchase massage chairs and foot massagers to support senior centers.

The silver walkers were delivered to 130 elderly people with mobility difficulties who suffer from geriatric diseases but have not received long-term care grades and thus do not benefit from welfare equipment purchases.

CEO Park Ok-soon said, "Having passed 90 years old, being healthy and moving freely is the best," and added, "I hope this sponsorship will help elderly people who need care."

Suncheon Mayor Noh Kwan-gyu said, "This is timely support for elderly citizens who have mobility difficulties but have not received grade assessments and were in a blind spot for walking assistance," adding, "I hope this will improve the quality of life for the elderly through safe walking, and we will create a first-class Suncheon that is happy for the elderly and friendly to them."
