[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] On the 14th, an anonymous angel visited the Hoegyeong 1-dong Community Service Center in Dongdaemun-gu (Director Kim Jinman) and delivered a donation of 365,000 won.

The donation envelopes totaled 12, each marked by month.

Notably, the first envelope labeled January read, "Saving 1,000 won per day. Donation money for January 2021. My first bucket list for January 2020."

The anonymous angel said, "At the beginning of last year, I decided as a bucket list to save 1,000 won per day and donate it in January 2021 to help neighbors who are more in need than myself. Despite the difficulties caused by COVID-19 last year, I never missed a day and saved 1,000 won daily. I am happy to have achieved my first bucket list. Please use the donation to help neighbors in need in the community."

Kim Jinman, director of Hoegyeong 1-dong, expressed gratitude, saying, "We thank the warm heart of the donor who supported neighbors in need despite the difficult situation caused by COVID-19. The donated funds will be meaningfully used to support vulnerable groups in the community."
