Brilio.net/en - Studying, playing and participating in their schools basketball team are things that make up an ordinary 9-year olds everyday life. But Yopi is not ordinary. Instead of playing with his friends, the Indonesian boy is already dealing with the harsh side of life, working as a stone mason.
Yopis story went viral after a Facebook groups post by Supic Smoot account, which stated that the boy is actually obliged to help his mom and make a living for his family. It is unclear why Yopi, who lives in Malang, East Java with his family, has to do such tough job, or whether the condition of his family has forced him to take on the burden.
Yopis photos are captioned by Supic Smoot, who wrote: The 9-year-old Yopi, left school and works hard to help his beloved mom. (Group) admins, feel free to remove this post if its considered unauthorized.
The photos show Yopi working as a stone mason during a culverts construction project in the Kemantren area in Malang.
The post managed to grab Netizens attention, who share and left various comments which most of them wishing for the young boys well-being in the future.
Hopefully, the boys life will soon get better, wrote Bayoe on the posts comments.
May Lord grants him prosperity, wrote Aulia in the same tone.
More than just commenting, some Netizens with helping hands also tried to search for Yopis home address in an attempt to give him charity.
Were glad that there are still truly kind and generous people out there, willing to go out of their way to help fellow human without asking for anything in return.
