Jeju high school student donates 1 million won from stock earnings to aid sick children

A second-year student at Hallim High School in Jeju, South Korea, has made a heartwarming donation of 1 million won (approximately $720 USD) to support children battling leukemia and pediatric cancer. Lim Ye-rang earned the money through stock investments and decided to use her profits to aid those in need.

The donation was made to the Jeju Community Chest of Korea, where Lim was recognized with a "Sharing Leader" certificate. This designation is awarded to individuals who pledge to donate 1 million won or more over a year to social welfare organizations.

“

As I made profits from stock investments, I naturally thought of donating.

According to the Jeju Community Chest of Korea, the funds will be allocated to cover the medical expenses of two children in Jeju who are currently undergoing treatment. Lim, who has a history of regular donations since childhood, expressed her hope that her contribution would provide strength and hope to the children.

Her act of generosity has brought warmth to the local community, demonstrating a compassionate spirit and a desire to make a positive impact on the lives of young patients.

I hope this contribution can provide even a little strength and hope to friends undergoing treatment.
