Way Maker Korea: Encounter with the Two Brothers After the Yangpyeong Fires

It’s been nearly two months since the fire and the tragic accident involving their parents. The lives of the two brothers were drastically changed.

The older brother, who just turned 20 and became an adult, has now become the head of the family. He takes care of his teenage younger brother, looks after their grandfather who has a disability, and as a freshman in college, he must earn pocket money to support their livelihood.

They are facing the challenge of having to move out of their temporary housing,

needing to purchase all new furniture and appliances, and dealing with the overwhelming amount of paperwork that comes after the passing of their parents.

Yet, the two brothers don’t have time to grieve. They must face real and pressing hardships head-on and keep moving forward simply to survive.

First Meeting with the Brothers in Yangpyeong by the Way Maker Staff

Way Maker intends to walk alongside the brothers to discover the path to take together, one step at a time. In the immediate aftermath of the accident, there was support from those around them, but the brothers’ journey is still ongoing.

That’s why the support must continue.

After the first round of emergency aid, the second round of support included clothing, daily necessities, a home printer, and groceries, along with handwritten letters to share our hearts.

As the brothers prepare for an upcoming move, they are in urgent need of support.

• Assistance with living expenses and education

• Help with housing and essential appliances

• Emotional stability and continued care

  
  

We kindly ask for your support and encouragement, so these brothers can hold on to hope and continue moving forward with their dreams.

“Two are better than one... If either of them falls, one can help the other up.” (Ecclesiastes 4:9–10)
