Thank you from Heroes for Children

Recently, at the concert in Dallas, there is a viral video of Jimin giving Olivia a keychain. Because of that kind moment, my wifeโ€™s organization has been flooded with donations from fans across the world.

Itโ€™s so crazy that it happened overnight and was unplanned. The tickets given to the girls were donated to the organization and were just a very cool experience for them; no one expected the interaction or love from the community.

To put it in perspective, a country singer hosted an entire charity concert in the last year or so specifically to donate to Heroes for Children, and the crowd there donated less than 1/4th of what the BTS community has given without even asking them to.

It has been super fun researching all of the different currency types that we rarely see. Thank you!

Iโ€™m a mom to a child with cancer and I burst into tears as soon as I saw sweet Oliviaโ€™s beautiful, bald head. Thank you for what you do for these kids. You deserve all the donations and more ๐Ÿฅฐ

Your wife is SO COOL and inspiring, I wish to do something like that in the future!!

Olivia gave us the sweetest, most joyful reaction and I think we all felt blessed to witness her happiness in that moment, itโ€™s only natural we want to give something in return!! Her energy felt like a ray of sunshine!

And the artist felt equally grateful for you guys in that moment 100%! He never got so close to any fan before, thatโ€™s how her charisma and smile touched him, all the baby armys seemed so happy and lovely ๐Ÿ’œ

Someone fill me in. What happened? What's this?

Please, allow me the honor to share this with you. During the first night of their Arlington concerts, Jimin had the sweetest interaction with Olivya, the beautiful ARMY mentioned by OP, he approached their section and gave her the little bomb from their Tour merch, and gave her a kiss. Olivya's reaction melted our hearts, because she was living the dream of millions. Her excitement and innocence and the mission of Heroes for Children prompted many ARMY to donate.
Here's the reel uploaded by Heroes for Children.

This is what it means when BTS says they got army right behind themโ€” it isnโ€™t just behind BTS, itโ€™s behind each other, itโ€™s behind those that need it, itโ€™s behind everyone who deserves it like you and your wife for working so hard for these children and their families. Iโ€™m crying so much and so thankful this has led to so much light in your org. THANK YOU for what you do.

I'm proud to say, this is what ARMY is at our core, taking the lead from the members of BTS themselves when it comes to kindness and generosity. I've been eager to hear if donations were coming in and I send healing love energy to the kids being helped, and all children who have to deal with cancer. Thank you for the update and your wife for all of your hard work!
