Mr. Kuo, a resident of Hualien City, suffers from a spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed from the waist down. He relies on low-income subsidies for daily living. In July last year, Typhoon Gaemi struck, and a century-old banyan tree collapsed onto his home, damaging the roof. The Chang Yung-Fa Charity Foundation provided financial assistance for home repairs, helping Mr. Kuo rebuild his home and regain a sense of stability.
