How to donate to Pine Tree Episode 579 MBN 230506 broadcast (until 2023.07.31, closing when target amount is reached) https://happybean.naver.com/donations... What if you lose one eye too... They say that love between couples eventually fades after a long marriage, but the love of Mr. Park Tae-seong (60 years old) and his wife remains strong. Mr. Tae-seong takes care of his sick wife, Ms. Park Gap-rye (69 years old), with utmost sincerity every day. Ms. Gap-rye, who started suffering from diabetes 7 years ago, is on the verge of blindness due to worsening complications. Until last year, she could see with one eye, but now she can't see well with that. Not only that, but because she has no strength in her body, she has difficulty moving around. Every time she goes to the hospital, Tae-seong's back is what moves her. Living by collecting waste paper means giving up so many things. They can't delay treatment even for a day, but the hospital and medicine bills are a huge burden for the couple. Currently, apart from Mr. Gapye’s old-age pension, the couple’s only income is the money Taeseong earns by collecting waste paper using his car. However, on unlucky days, they don’t even have enough money for gas. Taeseong feels bad that his wife would have more energy if she had eaten well, but she can’t do so because of their difficult circumstances. Because he has suffered for so long, Taeseong’s body has also become weak. In particular, his legs and hands, which should be strong enough to support him while working, are constantly acting up. One day, Taeseong suddenly encounters an accident. An unexpected accident happened to Taeseong six years ago. While he was moving a load, he fell from a truck and hurt his leg badly, and he couldn’t get up from his seat for two hours due to the pain. Even now, Taeseong has a hard time because water fills his injured leg after working for a little while. Because he has been working nonstop with his sore leg, his legs are numb even when he walks. Driving is essential for work, but now it’s almost impossible for him to drive for long periods of time because even pressing the clutch is difficult. Although Taeseong wants to work a little harder to make a living, his body seems to have turned away from his desire. Now, it is time for life to reward him. When I look into Taeseong’s life, I can only blame the heavens. He has lived hard, but the world seems unfair as it only makes things harder. In the past, Taeseong worked as an asphalt paving worker for a long time. His wife even fainted while doing laundry because the asphalt adhesive was so toxic. In the winter, he worked as a calcium chloride spreader, and on days when it snowed heavily, he stayed up all night for two days to clear the snow. Taeseong’s tone, as he casually talked about the past, was filled with a hardship that you cannot fully understand unless you have experienced it yourself. His two wishes: “A man should put a veil on his wife, but I couldn’t even do that and lived with her...” Taeseong feels very sorry and grateful to his wife. It has already been 40 years since Taeseong and his wife endured all the ups and downs together. When asked what his biggest wish is, Taesung says without hesitation that it is his wife’s health. If he had another wish, he would like to buy a new prefabricated house because his current house keeps leaking water, leaking electricity, and having rats running around. Please help Taesung and his wife start their day with warm eye contact in a slightly more sturdy house.
