EBS’ representative social contribution program that supports neighbors in need by collecting donations of 3,000 won per currency. <나눔 0700>. The 710th episode of ‘Family Spring Day’, which airs on EBS 1TV at 11:25 a.m. on Saturday the 20th, tells the story of Jong Jong’s family, a father who takes care of his three children with intellectual disabilities and his wife who is losing her eyesight.
Three children with intellectual disabilities and a wife who is losing her eyesight.
“My daughter has an intellectual disability, and the older twin has a level 1 intellectual disability and the second child has a level 2 intellectual disability. When the twins were born, their ankles were all bent due to the small size of the baby’s home. Also, she was born prematurely…” -Dad
“I am legally blind in my right eye, and there is a good chance my left eye will be as well. “If I had had an eye exam or a prescription for glasses under a good environment and medical benefits, my vision would have developed sufficiently, but that did not seem to be what led to my current condition.” – Ophthalmologist
Mr. Jong Jong makes a living supporting his visually impaired wife and three children with intellectual disabilities. Dad Jong Jong is the head of a family of five and the only non-disabled person. On a noisy morning like any other family, Jong-Ji’s house starts with her daughter’s loud voice waking up her twin brother. Her daughter Heejeong prepares breakfast for her mother in the kitchen, where fire and knives are frequently used, and after the meal, she silently washes dishes, does laundry, and cleans as if she is used to it. The twins, who are now in high school, are taken to school by their mother. As the twins keep going on different paths, they need someone’s help. It is dangerous for their mother, who has poor eyesight, to accompany them, but there is no other way. At that time, my father wanders the streets looking for work to earn his living expenses. My dad searches for work day and night, but it’s not easy for him to find permanent work since he injured his back in an accident six years ago. Since all family members have disabilities and illnesses, they need a lot of money for living expenses as well as medical expenses.
A father who looks for work early in the morning, putting aside treatment to make a living.
“If I hadn’t been hurt like this, this wouldn’t have happened and the placard is not a placard, I think my heart is twisted. The way to solve it is to not hurt myself, but since it hurts, that doesn’t work and I have to treat the kids.” -Dad
My father, Jong-Jong, suffered a fall accident while helping an acquaintance while working at a security company. He suffered a serious spinal injury at the time, but he was not treated properly. He was in a hurry to make a living, so he looked for ways to make money day after day. As a result, his pain worsened and work became difficult. Fortunately, these days I can now collect illegal placards, but the competition is so fierce that I have to go out early in the morning to look for placards. Up to 200 placards collected per person are allowed per month, and the money you can receive is 200,000 won. This amount is the monthly income of a family of five. Jong Jong, the father, often tosses and turns all night due to back pain. He cannot sleep deeply after the accident, and the pain gets worse on rainy days. Nevertheless, Mr. Jong Jong goes out at dawn again, holding on to his sore back. He has a family that he cannot let go of.
Please give hope to Jongjong’s family, who have many dreams and smiles!
“My wish is that the legs don’t hurt and the kids don’t get worse here. “I hope that the remaining vision on one side of my eye doesn’t get any worse.” – Dad
I need to find a way before it’s too late, but I wonder if we’ll reach a point where we can’t do anything because we’re so desperate for living expenses… Jong Jong, a father who desperately hopes that the process won’t speed up, will do anything to make money for his sick family, but his health is failing. Because I’m not allowed to do anything, what I can do is so limited that I secretly sigh loudly. But soon Mr. Jongjong regains his courage and stands up. Because a family full of dreams and laughter is waiting for you at home. Mr. Jong Jong, who has three intellectually disabled children and a visually impaired wife, please protect their family’s warm spring days.
The ‘Sharing 0700’ ‘Family Spring Day’ episode will be broadcast on EBS1TV at 11:25 a.m. on the 20th (Saturday).
