On April 4, 2019, there was a really massive forest fire that destroyed the town of Goseong in Gangwon province. It destroyed 120 homes and caused two deaths. Almost all residence within this town were elderlies and the damage was devastating. There has been a lot of donations and support groups so far and I really hope the situation gets better.
One story of a victim truly touched my heart. This old grandpa had been saving money for his entire life to give it to his son, but the fire turned it into ash over just one night. He was hopeless, and it was decided that it wasn't even allowed for compensations by the government.
