00:00Located in Kampung Petoran, Jebres, Solo, not far from Dr. Muardi's hospital, a single-family home for patients with child cancer and chronic diseases stands on the name of the Kitapeduli Foundation.
00:17This single-family home was established by Gerry Prayudi, who is also the head of the Kitapeduli Foundation.
00:24This 31-year-old young man was motivated to establish a single-family home after he lived as a cancer patient.
00:32In his humanitarian action, Gerry is not alone. He is assisted by five colleagues to manage a single-family home that contains five patient rooms.
00:42Not only providing medical equipment for single-family patients, sometimes the Kitapeduli Foundation helps to educate children from patient families.
00:51At first, this single-family home was focused on helping children with cancer.
00:56However, in its development over four years, there was an opportunity to become a single-family home for adult patients who underwent treatment at Dr. Muardi's hospital or other hospitals in the city of Solo.
01:10As a manager, Gerry implements a number of different rules.
01:16It's been four years. All the patients have been discharged.
01:20Today, more than 200 patients will be discharged.
01:27Adult patients can be discharged for a maximum of three months.
01:31But the duration is one month.
01:34So we only give one month first.
01:36If you want to extend it to another month, it can be a maximum of three months.
01:39Children's patients can be discharged for a maximum of one year per three months.
01:44So once we give it, it's three months first.
01:48The existence of this single-family home is well received by the family of patients who take advantage of it.
01:53They are grateful to be able to live for free, reduce the cost of treatment and avoid going back and forth to the hospital because they usually come from outside the city of Solo.
02:06Nine years old, three months.
02:09What do you think about the existence of this single-family home?
02:13Alhamdulillah, it's good. We all eat for free.
02:18If we want to control it, we are also given food money.
02:23Sometimes we are also served food every month.
02:27Why do you want to have a single-family home?
02:31Is it because the distance is far?
02:33Yes, because the distance is far.
02:35So it's closer to the hospital so we don't get tired.
02:39How many days do you usually stay here?
02:43One day before we control it.
02:49This humanitarian activity requires operational funds of 20 million to 25 million rupiahs per month.
02:57Geri admits that his ability to manage several businesses, from convection business to media,
03:03as well as fundraising from donors, makes him still be able to keep his spirit to help cancer patients and families in need of help due to financial restrictions.
