In his grandmother's arms, Yusril could only cry to endure the pain that wracked his body. This 4 year old boy in Manggaraw Pondok, Labuhan Ratu District, East Lampung Regency has been suffering from hernias, nerve and lung diseases since he was 2 years old.'
Yusril was also born prematurely. Initially, Yusril had a fever and had seizures. For a small amount of money, Grandma Wagiyem (45) took him for treatment to the hospital. However, due to limited funds, the treatment that Yusril was supposed to undergo routinely was hampered.
“Initially, Yusril's body was hot and then he had convulsions, his eyes often turned upside down, then he was treated, but up to now there has been no change, he has been to the hospital everywhere. He has been taken to a children's hospital too, for 1 year there has been no change, but his shortness of breath has increased. ” said Grandma Yusril to the volunteers merdeka.com at the location.
When she was 6 months pregnant, Yusril's late mother experienced heavy bleeding. Finally, the late Siti Rohimah had to undergo a cesarean delivery while she was unconscious.
Yusril and his twin were successfully born, but less than one day later Yusril's twin died. This boy's sad fate doesn't end there.
Seven days later, Yusril's mother breathed her last breath leaving Yusril. His father was never present in his life from the time he was born until he was at this age. No one knows about Yusril's father.
Since birth, Yusril has been cared for by his grandparents. Jupri's grandfather worked every day as a construction worker. His income is uncertain every day because his services as a construction worker are not used every day. However, for one day of work as a construction worker, his service is usually paid IDR 70,000.
“Jupri's grandfather struggled to meet Yusril's needs, working as a casual laborer in Srimenanti village, including low income. The income he earned was uncertain, sometimes getting Rp. 70,000 a day if he had work. But he often didn't work if local residents didn't need him,” said Amrizal as a volunteer. dogood.id.
Meanwhile, Yusril's grandmother usually spends time every day at home looking after Yusril and her 16 year old child named Muhammad Ferdy Winata. With such a meager income, it was very difficult for this family to seek treatment for Yusril's recovery.
Not only was there a problem with medical costs, Yusril's grandfather and grandmother also had difficulty meeting Yusril's main need, namely milk. Due to the swelling in the area around his neck, at the age of 4 Yusril is still unable to consume heavy foods such as rice. He only gets nutritional intake from each bottle of milk, which unfortunately is difficult to buy every month.
“Currently, Yusril is more than 4 years old, his condition is often sickly, he needs to be treated by a doctor once a month. His body is stiff, he can't do anything, his breathing is often short of breath, his intestines don't function well so he can't eat random food. Yusril “We need medicine and adequate food and nutritional supplements. Meanwhile, Yusril's grandmother does not have the ability to meet Yusril's needs,” continued Amrizal.
