[FAN PROJECT] JYJ Fan Support Drive for Sewol Ferry Victims
April 19, 2014 · rilanna
Hello JYJ fans,
As you may have heard, the passenger ferry Sewol tragically capsized on its route from Incheon to Jeju Island and sank off the coast of Jindo on April 16th, 2014. It was carrying 476 people, with over 300 of them being second year students from Danwon High School. 273 people are still missing, and a rescue mission is well underway.
However, there is a lack of living necessities, food and supplies for victims, family members, rescue personnel and volunteers at Jindo Gymnasium, so the city has opened up a reception site in Jindo to accept donations of food and living supplies. Officials will deliver supplies to where they are needed, most importantly the Jindo Gymnasium. Even though most of us are located far away from the disaster site and cannot physically help with the rescue mission, we can send some support to everyone affected by this tragedy in the form of providing necessities for their wellbeing.
***Donations sent to the fund’s PayPal will be used to purchase food and necessities under JYJ’s name with a support message from JYJ International Fans via G-Market (the Korean version of eBay) and will be shipped domestically from within Korea to Jindo, thereby having a short delivery time of approximately one day. Currently, the supplies that are most needed are socks, towels, underwear, vitamin supplements/health drinks, and food. We will continuously purchase and send supplies to the reception site as donations come in.

People missing due to the Sewol ferry disaster couldn’t come back yet to their families.
Our hearts ache like they’re going to break at the thought that even at this time, people are desperately struggling in cold water and that their families are crying out for their return.
We will never give up hope.
We’ll keep praying and praying that the missing people could survive and come back to their families’ embrace.
To the people who has gone to heaven, we pray for the repose of your souls.
