Yeonsu-gu Okryeon 2- dong ( headed by Lee Byeong-cheol ) conducted a thorough cleaning of household waste on the 26th to improve the living environment of a new welfare vulnerable class household with a daughter suffering from depression and a mild dementia patient .

The subjects are a single- person household of a young adult complaining of financial difficulties due to depression and career gaps, and an elderly mother living alone with mild dementia. They were discovered after being abandoned as a garbage house due to worsening physical and mental health .

After being selected as an integrated case management household to improve the living environment, it was linked to the Yeonsu-gu ‘ Sharing an Hour, Creating a Bounty of Happiness ‘ project, but it was a household where trash had been left unattended for a long time, making it difficult to solve with project costs alone .

Fortunately, a local environmental company , Cleanwell Co., Ltd. ( CEO Park Jeong -yoon and Hwang Sun-ok ), decided to volunteer their talents to cover the excess project cost, so we were able to perform a thorough cleaning of both houses .

The subject said that he had been depressed and lonely for three years without cleaning, but now he has found hope in life. He also expressed his gratitude, saying that he was grateful because the place was full of trash because he had not been able to clean due to financial difficulties and depression .

An official from Okryeon 2- dong also said , “ We are working hard to discover and support new welfare-vulnerable groups in the region . ” He added, “ We will continue to do our best to solve the problems of residents in blind spots of welfare through case management and customized service linkages .”
