Enduring Disability, Spending Earnings from Senior Jobs on Others... Andong Seogu-dong's 'Inssa Donation Angel' Grandma Go Sunnan

Grandmother Go Soon-nam is smiling after donating 2 million won to the Andong Seogu-dong Administrative Welfare Center.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] A 70-year-old "insider" living in Andong, Gyeongbuk, has appeared as a donation angel by donating money earned from senior jobs and her basic pension.

Grandmother Go Soon-nam (76 years old) from Seogu-dong handed over a donation of 2 million won to Jeong Gyo-soon, the head of Seogu-dong Administrative Welfare Center, on the 13th.

According to the grandmother's wishes, Seogu-dong donated 1 million won to the nationwide flood damage relief fundraising organized by the National Disaster Relief Association, and the remaining 1 million won was entrusted to the Togethermoa Happiness Fund to be used for low-income neighbors in Seogu-dong.

Although the grandmother has a disability, she has been donating every year for the past 10 years, asking that the income earned through the basic pension and senior job projects be used for neighbors in greater need despite her modest living conditions.

Go Soon-nam said, "I saw on the news that many people were struggling due to the concentrated heavy rain in Seoul, the first in 115 years," and added, "I used to live in Sinsa-dong, Seoul, and the people I met and that street still linger in my mind, which made me feel heartbroken."

She said, "I hope that this small sharing will be of some help to those affected."

Jeong Gyo-soon, head of Seogu-dong, said, "We are grateful to the elderly who continue to practice true neighborly love despite difficult circumstances," and added, "We will convey this beautiful intention to others."
