Hope Bridge Korea Disaster Relief Association (Chairman Song Pilho) announced on April 24 that members of the Korea Association of Property Appraisers (President Gilsoo Yang) have donated 200 million won, which they raised collectively, to help neighbors who lost their homes due to wildfires.

The donation will be used for relief activities to help residents of Ulsan, North Gyeongsang, and South Gyeongsang regions, who suffered significant damage from recent large-scale wildfires, recover their livelihoods and restore the affected areas.

Gilsoo Yang, President of the Korea Association of Property Appraisers, stated, "Witnessing the severe damage caused by the wildfires, our appraiser members came together with one heart to help our neighbors," and added, "We hope this contribution, though small, will be of some help to those affected." He continued, "We also wish to continue collaborating with Hope Bridge on activities such as tree planting in the future."

Since the outbreak of the wildfires, Hope Bridge has provided emergency support with more than 450,000 relief supplies and has been actively engaged in practical, field-centered recovery efforts, including laundry services at temporary shelters, medical support, and meal assistance for on-site firefighting crews.
