400 Miles for KKOOM

Let’s Raise $4000 for Korean Youth

I'm riding my bike from Seoul to Busan over 5 days and documenting the whole process while highlighting the important work that KKOOM does for children in Korea’s social welfare system. Follow along here on Instagram: @heejaean 

For those who don’t know, “social welfare system” refers to the many institutions that house, care for, and support children who no longer can live with their parents or relatives for various reasons. While the homes we support do their absolute best to do everything they can for the children, they all need and deserve support to ensure 

KKOOM provides the extra “boost” these children need to live fuller childhoods, from the moment they arrive at one of our partner children's homes until after they find their own path as young adults. All children deserve a chance to shine so let's help KKOOM continue doing its amazing work.

As a board member, I’ve seen what even a small donation can do. So here’s the deal:

🎁 Donate $40 (or $400 if you are feeling REALLY generous)

📅 Or if you’re feeling extra generous, sign up for monthly donations of any amount! (you’ll get a special shout-out in my videos if you do)

🎉 Or just give whatever feels right - every bit helps

Your generosity will help:

• Support renovations to the children’s homes

• Fund field trips, art supplies, and summer camps

• Provide hagwon scholarships and other academic and professional development opportunities

• Support college students who aged out of the social welfare system

Thank you for being part of my life and caring about something important to me.
