Brilio.net - Mbah Sombret, a middle-aged woman from Central Java, showed extraordinary dedication to accompany her neighbor who was going on the Hajj. Because he couldn't get a place on the bus rented by his village, Mbah Sombret was willing to travel long distances by motorbike taxi. He had to pay IDR 600,000 for round trip fare from Pekalongan to Solo. Unfortunately, when he arrived at the Solo Hajj hostel, Mbah Sombret did not meet his neighbor.
Mbah Sombret's touching story went viral on social media and touched the hearts of many people. Not a few people pray that Mbah Sombret can immediately perform the Hajj at another time. Apart from that, several parties from other villages also gave him some money to cover the costs.
Behind Mbah Sombret's extraordinary struggle, it turns out that he only lives in a simple house. You can see the house is in the middle of the garden. The building looks old and is only made of wood.
The front of the house looks like there are banners and some rubbish scattered around. Meanwhile the back was covered with various shabby tarpaulins. Mbah Sombret lives in Kulu Village, Karanganyar District, Pekalongan Regency.
The condition of the inside of Mbah Sombret's house is more worrying. Many items are not arranged in an orderly manner. Because of this, after it went viral, many people were concerned and gave him help. The appearance of Mbah Sombret's house was uploaded via TikTok video @a_pur_wanto, on Tuesday (28/5).
"Thank God, there are many good people who sent messages wanting to help Mak Sombret," explained the account owner, quoted by brilio.net from TikTok @a_pur_wanto, Wednesday (29/5).
Together with the local sub-district, Mak Sombret has now created an account book in his personal name. It is known that this middle-aged woman's real name is Rati. This will make it easier for the community to provide assistance to them because they no longer need to go through intermediaries.
So many prayers and help were received, who at first only wanted to take his neighbor on the Hajj, now he has the opportunity to go to Mecca too. It is known that a woman named Vita will send Mbah Sombret to go on Umrah.
