Lee Chan-won donates again for child cancer patients, total reaches 79.41 million won

South Korean singer Lee Chan-won continues his philanthropic efforts, making another donation to aid children battling serious illnesses.

The Korea Leukemia Children's Cancer Foundation announced on July 8th that it received a 700,000 won donation from Lee Chan-won, stemming from his prize money in the "Sunhan Star" competition for June. This contribution is earmarked for supporting the treatment costs of children and adolescents diagnosed with leukemia, blood cancer, and other rare, intractable diseases.

With this latest gift, Lee Chan-won's cumulative donations to the foundation, channeled through the "Sunhan Star" platform, now total 79.41 million won. The foundation's support program focuses on individuals under 19, providing financial assistance for caregiving expenses, daily living costs, and meals during prolonged treatment periods. This aid aims to allow families to concentrate on their child's recovery without the added burden of financial strain.

Hong Seung-yoon, a director at the Korea Leukemia Children's Cancer Foundation, expressed deep gratitude to Lee Chan-won and his supporters. "We are profoundly thankful to Lee Chan-won and all those who cheer him on for sending their warm hearts every month, so that children and their families do not lose hope during their lonely battles," Hong stated. He assured that the donated funds would be used diligently to assist families in need of care for pediatric cancer patients.

The Korea Leukemia Children's Cancer Foundation, a non-profit organization registered with the Ministry of Health and Welfare since 2001, offers a range of welfare services. These include financial aid for medical and care treatments, as well as emotional support and shelter operations for children with leukemia and rare incurable diseases.
