The "You Were Born to Be Loved" program is designed to provide children under case management, such as foster children and children returning to their original families under post-management, with opportunities to celebrate their birthdays with their families, aiming to support emotional stability and healthy growth.

The program is conducted by child protection officers visiting the child's home on their birthday to deliver birthday cakes and congratulatory cards while checking on the child's caregiving situation.

In particular, the program is expected to be enriched through the cooperation of Cafe Frezi. The representative of Cafe Frezi expressed a desire to "give children special memories" and offered to support cakes.

Mayor Baek Young-hyun of Pocheon said, "We are grateful to the businesses that supported helping children celebrating their birthdays create warm memories with their families," and added, "We will continue to do our best to provide multifaceted support so that children under protection can grow up in a safe and healthy environment."
