The Ups and Downs of an Ojol Father's Life: Now Receives an Unexpected Gift from Jestham

Medan City, North Sumatra - (07/20/25) In her latest mission, Jestham once again delivered a heartwarming act of social service. This time, she met a middle-aged online motorcycle taxi (ojol) driver who was having lunch by the side of the road. With great warmth, Jestham offered him a unique challenge: to open a mystery box containing the chance to shop for groceries to his heart's content for two minutes at the nearest Alfamart. At first, the man seemed hesitant, but the moment he understood the prize, his spirit was instantly ignited! He immediately followed Jestham to the nearby convenience store.

With agility, the father gathered rice, cooking oil, eggs, and various other staple foods, racing against the two-minute countdown—all for the sake of his children, who are pursuing higher education at top universities in Indonesia.

A deeply moving moment was inevitable when the father shared his life story. It turned out he had been laid off from his previous job but never gave up. With strong determination, he chose to become an online driver to finance his two children's university education. "My children are my motivation," he said with teary eyes. His two children successfully gained admission to the University of Indonesia (UI) and the State University of Jakarta (UNJ), an achievement that is both immensely proud and requires significant sacrifice.

The thrilling two-minute shopping challenge was filled with excitement and laughter. Assisted by Jestham's team, the father ran through the aisles grabbing various groceries as fast as he could. "Rice, rice!" he shouted while filling his basket. He also made sure to grab instant noodles, soap, and some snacks for his family. The atmosphere grew even more emotional as time was running out and he was still trying to grab a few last items. Jestham and her team continued to cheer him on, making the moment even more memorable.

After the challenge, Jestham not only gave him all the groceries he had "hunted" but also presented him with a sum of cash as an appreciation for his struggles. The father could not hide his emotion. "I truly never expected a surprise like this," he said with a broad smile. He expressed that his greatest happiness is seeing his children succeed in obtaining a higher education, even if it means he has to work hard as an online driver.

A sincere prayer flowed from the father to Jestham. "May God repay this kindness manifold," he said with a trembling voice. Behind the hustle of daily life, there are countless stories of struggle worthy of recognition. Jestham's action was not merely about providing material aid; it also reminded everyone of the importance of empathy and mutual support. For this father, that day was not just about the groceries or the money, but an acknowledgment of his hard work all this time.
