Handwritten Letter Inside a 20 Million Won Cash Bundle Touches Hearts

"I worked in a coal mine because I had no money."

Here is a truly touching story of an elderly resident in her 80s who decided to generously donate to neighbors in greater need, despite her own modest living circumstances.

According to Yongin City, on October 8, an elderly resident in her 80s living in Cheoin-gu visited the city hall despite having mobility difficulties.

She then donated 21.95 million won in cash as a contribution to help neighbors in need.

Tucked between the bundles of cash was a handwritten letter, with every single letter carefully and firmly pressed down onto the paper.

The elderly woman, who raised four children in tight living conditions alongside her husband who worked in a coal mine, wrote that she wanted the money to be used for neighbors going through even more difficult times than herself.

To express gratitude for her quiet sharing, Yongin City officials visited her in person to greet her and presented her with the "Shy Sharing Plaque," which is given to anonymous donors.

Thank you so much, senior.
