▲ Cashier's check donated by an anonymous grandmother
Ahead of the end of the year, an anonymous grandmother in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, donated a large amount to help the neighbors in need, and is conveying emotion to the local community.
According to Gangnam-gu today (3rd), on the 29th of last month, around 2 pm, an elderly woman, who is estimated to be in her 80s, came to the Welfare Policy Division of the ward office and handed a white letter envelope containing a check worth 152 million won and said, "Seniors living alone, etc. Please write it for our neighbors in need.”
A ward office worker followed the grandmother and asked for her name, but the grandmother did not reveal it, and it is said that she disappeared after getting on the bus in front of the ward office.
152,25377 won donated by this old man is the highest amount of personal donations received in Gangnam-gu.
Gangnam-gu is considering using the Gangnam Welfare Foundation for low-income families such as seniors living alone in the district.
Jung Soon-gyun, mayor of Gangnam-gu, said, "I will use it well for my neighbors in need."
