Gyeonggi Province Fundraising Organization Welcomes First "Happy Legacy Donation Campaign" Donor

As the Gyeonggi Province Community Chest of Korea conducts the "Happy Legacy Donation Campaign," the first legacy donor in the Gyeonggi region has emerged.

The donor couple is Hong Sung-seok (88) and Kim Geum-soon (79), residents of Siheung. They expressed their intention to donate 40 million won in jeonse (deposit) through the province's community chest on the 12th.

In response, the province's community chest promised to arrange a funeral for the couple, who have no family, at the time of their passing.

Hong Sung-seok is visually impaired at Grade 1, and Kim Geum-soon is in a care facility due to physical difficulties. Both are basic livelihood assistance recipients who decided to donate the full jeonse amount after having received social support following their passing.

The Hong couple said, "There would be no greater happiness than having our modest jeonse deposit used to help neighbors in need," and expressed their hope that "through this opportunity, legacy donation will become more active in the province and a culture of sharing will spread."
