It happened last month in Cheongju, and a newborn baby without the umbilical cord was found in a food waste bin, which saddened many people's hearts, and helping hands are continuing across the country.
On the 18th of last month, it was discovered that a newborn baby was abandoned in a food waste bin in front of a restaurant in Cheongju, three days later as a passerby reported it.
After fighting for over 60 hours in the trash can, the baby is now recovering from a difficult treatment at the hospital.
Reception of donations for this baby started on the 25th of last month, and it is said that more than 100 million won was raised within a week.
Most of the 1,800 donors are individuals, and as the sad situation of the baby was reported through the media, it spread as a nationwide fundraising campaign centered on online communities.
According to the Chungbuk Social Welfare Community Chest, there are cases where they paid more than 1 million won, but in most cases, they broke their pockets at 10 o'clock.
Baby products such as diapers and milk powder are being delivered one after another to hospitals.
The Community Chest will support the donations for medical expenses, etc., and plan to use the remaining money in consultation with Cheongju City.
