Elder Kwon Young-hoon said, “I started donating blood because I wanted to help those who are more difficult and struggling than myself,” and added, “I hope these blood donation certificates can be of some help to neighbors in difficult circumstances.”

Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, “I sincerely thank Elder Kwon Young-hoon for donating blood donation certificates,” and added, “I hope the elder’s beautiful act of kindness spreads widely and fosters a warm culture of sharing.”
