友利金融集团基金会举办殉职消防员遗属治愈营并收到感谢信，属企业社会责任宣传，无交易增量

"Thank you for remembering my dad and for giving our family of three such a wonderful time."
Lee Yu-na (a pseudonym) lost her father, a firefighter, last year. The brave man who rushed into flames to save lives whenever the emergency bell rang remains her greatest source of pride. If she has one wish, it is that many people remember the father who is still alive in her heart.
That wish is being fulfilled, little by little, through the Woori Financial Future Foundation. Yu-na took part in a healing camp for the minor children of firefighters killed in the line of duty, held from the 17th to the 19th of last month alongside a program for their spouses, and enjoyed a rare moment of happiness. In a letter to Yim Jong-yong, chairman of the Woori Financial Future Foundation, she wrote: "I was so happy that I got to meet new friends and older and younger kids, and try all kinds of activities. I will remember it for a long, long time."
Bereaved families who joined the foundation's "Woori Hero Firefighter Family Healing Camp" last month sent letters to Woori Financial Group to thank the company for honoring the sacrifices of their fathers, sons and husbands. Seong Hye-jin (a pseudonym), Yu-na's mother, said the experience brought comfort and strength so great that she wondered whether she was allowed to enjoy herself so much. "It was a time that gave me the strength and courage to go on living," she said. "I will remember this warmth for a long time." Park Seong-mi (a pseudonym), the wife of another firefighter who died on duty, said her days had been sorrowful ones in which she struggled to feel happiness because of her husband's absence. "My children told me, 'We are not alone. I want to grow up to be a fine adult too,'" she said.
Laughter also returned at a trip for the parents of fallen firefighters, held last month. Kim Seong-hoon (a pseudonym), who said farewell to his son at the scene of a fire two years ago, stepped away from daily life to ride a Han River cruise boat and tour palaces in Seoul. In a letter to Yim, he wrote: "I have been holding my place steadfastly, always thinking of my son, barely aware of the changing seasons." He added that the trip was valuable because it gave him a chance to speak openly with other parents who share the same grief, and said the parents parted after pledging to draw strength and courage and to live well.
The events followed a request from Yim, who after a luncheon with bereaved families of fallen firefighters early this year asked the foundation to create programs that would remember the sacrifices of firefighting heroes while allowing the families left behind to laugh and dream again. Woori Financial Group said it plans to continue standing alongside firefighting heroes who sacrificed themselves for the public and their bereaved families. Since 2022, the group has provided living expenses and medical support to uniformed public servants through its Woori Hero support program. An official at Woori Financial Group said the company would go beyond remembering the sacrifices of firefighting heroes and stay by the side of the families left behind so they can lead healthy lives.
