At just 26 years old, Aji carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. He has spent years caring for his mother, Ratnawati (52), who suffers from breast cancer and lymphoma—the same illness that took his father seven years ago. Now, he is her only source of strength, but every day is a battle against hunger, exhaustion, and despair.

💔 “Why is my family always being tested like this? I lost my father, and now my mother is suffering. If I could take her pain, I would. I just want her to stop hurting.” – Aji

To survive, Aji sells homemade cakes and helps a neighbor fry martabak. But despite his hard work, he only earns 25,000 IDR per day ($1.60 USD)—barely enough to cover food, let alone his mother’s lifesaving medication, which costs 200,000 IDR per week.

Some nights, they have nothing to eat. Aji has gone two days without food, giving his last portion of rice to his mother while he breaks his fast with just water. They owe two years’ rent, yet their kind landlord lets them stay, knowing they have nowhere else to go.

Recently, his mother’s medicine ran out, and without it, she cried in agony every night. Aji, feeling helpless, borrowed money from neighbors just to buy her pain relief.

He never complains. He just keeps going, hoping for a miracle—praying for the day when his mother no longer suffers.
