Afterwards consulted with a social worker, she wrote a
"bucket list" (a list of things to do before he died). One of them was
"I want to help a people in need".
Her social worker introduced the 'New Life Support
Society' of the Maria Ward of the hospital in her desire to help young children
who are her son's age. The New Life Support Society is a dedicated support
group for hospice patients, operated by the International St. Mary’s Hospital,
for hospice patients and families who lack social support.
She donated 5 million won to the new life support
society, and the hospital held a donation ceremony on Thursday 8th at the Chapel
of the International St. Mary’s Hospital. On that day, Maria ward nurses sing
her a song "You were born to be loved." and thank her.
Kim Young-in, the head of the International St. Mary’s Hospital,
said, "We are grateful for the difficult and precious decisions and will
use her precious heart for the cost of living and care for the patient and the
patient's young children”.
She said, “I thank the Maria Ward for helping me to have
a good occasion, and it is not a big amount of money, but I hope it could help
the children."
She has been hospitalized in the ward of Maria and her
condition has been improved and she has recently moved to a regular ward to
continue her battling with active treatment.
