The national merit recipient, Mr. Lee (93), who received the donation, is currently living in a temporary shelter in Andong. He expressed his gratitude, saying, "I felt hopeless after my house was completely destroyed by the wildfire, but receiving this donation filled with the donors' sincerity has given me great comfort and the courage to start again."

This donation was raised by "Warm Day" through the donation platform "Happybean," and it is the second case of delivery following the donation to the family of a descendant of an independence patriot living in Yeongdeok in July.

Ye Youngjin, Vice President of Warm Day, who attended the delivery ceremony, said, "I hope the donors' small act of kindness will be a great support to the national merit recipients affected by the wildfire. We will continue to support the lives of national merit recipients in various ways."

Kim Jongsool, Director of the Daegu Regional Veterans Office, said, "We are grateful to Warm Day for practicing such precious sharing through a nationwide fundraising campaign. We will continue to do our best to enhance the honor and support for national merit recipients and their families."
