An unnamed "angel of donation" left another monetary contribution for the victims of the heavy rains, asking that it be used for them. It is known that he has been secretly donating money to the Korea Community Chest of Korea whenever many people suffer from disasters.
According to the Community Chest of Korea on the 23rd, a small box had been placed in front of the office of the Community Chest of Korea in Gyeongnam the day before. It contained a single chrysanthemum flower mourning the victims of the heavy rains, a handwritten letter, and an envelope with 5 million won in cash.
This donor, who did not reveal his name, wrote in the letter, "I express my deep condolences to those who lost their lives due to localized heavy rain and offer my heartfelt comfort to the disaster victims," adding, "Although it's a small amount, I hope it will be of some help in the recovery efforts."
After examining the handwriting, the Community Chest of Korea discovered that the person who left the donation is the same anonymous donor who has sent large contributions several times before. Since 2017, he has been donating anonymously during various disaster situations, including the Jinju apartment arson case, the Gangwon and Gyeongbuk wildfires, the Turkey earthquake, and the Jeju Air passenger plane accident. The total donations to date amount to approximately 690 million won.
Kyunam Community Chest of Korea President Kang Ki-cheol said, "Although we do not know the name or face, this donor, who always quietly reaches out to the region's pain, gives us a deep resonance," and added, "We will gather warm hearts to provide practical help not only to Gyeongnam but also to the affected areas."
