On the 20th, Cheongyang County in Chungnam announced that an anonymous donor, who had operated a pioneering church, donated 13.8 million won from the proceeds of selling a house.


According to the county, the donor left an envelope containing a check along with a short handwritten letter in the gap of the finance department door at the county office around 5 p.m. on the 15th.


The letter stated, "I established a church in Cheongyang and bought a house. After some time, the church was closed and the house was sold. Except for the principal amount from the sale, I intend to share the remaining money with poor neighbors."


The county plans to use the donated funds through the Community Social Security Council's joint fundraising to support vulnerable groups and neighbors in need who are in welfare blind spots.



County Governor Kim Dong-gon said, "We will ensure that the donation is properly delivered to the needy in the county according to the donor’s generous intention," adding, "We will strive to spread this kind and warm influence throughout the community."
