DELI SERDANG, NORTH SUMATERA — Dompet Dhuafa Waspada returns to run a basic food-sharing program for mustahiq through the Knock on mustahiq’s Doors program, on Tuesday (18/10/2022) in Percut Village, Percut Sei Tuan, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra. This program is carried out by meeting the needs of the mustahiq family within a period of one month.
Delivered directly to the house, the first aid was given to Ilhamudin, a street martabak seller. From Ilhamudin’s confession, he sells from noon to midnight with uncertain income.
“If there are more buyers, one day can get one hundred thousand more. However, sales cannot necessarily always sell well,” said Ilhamudin.
More than twenty years of selling martabak around made Ilhamudin never give up hope. With all his might he fought to send his five children to school. “The important thing is that the family can still eat, the children can still go to school, and whatever I do. Yes, selling martabak around this is tiring but just enjoyed,” he continued.
Mr. Ilhamudin also admitted that he had long adapted the heat and rain. “If it’s hot to rest for a while if it rains, you just have to wear a raincoat and continue to push the cart again,” said Ilhamudin recounting when he was selling.
The arrival of the Dompet Dhuafa Waspada team when providing Aid to Mr. Ilhamudin also touched him. “I’m so grateful, this kind of help can be for our meal. The money earned by the sales can be allocated for the children’s school needs,” he said.
About the mustahiq door-knocking program, Sulaiman as the Branch Leader of Dompet Dhuafa Waspada said that this program will continue to run for the next three months. “This program will continue to be followed up because we really want how mustahiq can be fulfilled enough food for the family,” explained Sulaiman.
Sulaiman also said that this program is here for mustahiq who really needs it. “So those who really need this hopefully will be helped by no longer thinking about what to eat in the next month because they have been given basic necessities,” he continued.
To the wider community, Sulaiman also said that this program is open to donors who want to share. “This program is open to anyone who wants to share, can come directly to the Dompet Dhuafa Waspada office or call our number 081262006967,” he concluded. (Dompet Dhuafa/Waspada)
