An anonymous resident of Incheon has once again demonstrated remarkable generosity, donating 1.09 million won earned through collecting scrap paper. This latest contribution, left at the Gaja 2-dong administrative welfare center, is intended to aid the underprivileged in the community. The donor, identified only as Mr. A, has made this a recurring act of kindness, with this being their third donation since February. Mr. A expressed a desire for the funds to be used for a good cause, especially with the Chuseok holiday approaching. The donation, consisting of cash placed in a black envelope, totals 1.907 million won, with the donor having meticulously saved the money through their diligent efforts in collecting and selling scrap paper. Local officials, including Kim Young-sook, head of Gaja 2-dong, have expressed profound gratitude for the donor's repeated selflessness. The district plans to channel these funds through the Community Chest of Korea and other welfare organizations to ensure they reach those most in need, embodying the spirit of community support.

I visited again with the thought that it would be nice if it were used for a good cause, as the Chuseok holiday is approaching.
