She admitted that ers baby had to re-control after undergoing surgery for some time.

Sumiyati is grateful to have the help of PT Timah Tbk and various parties. So they can do treatment for Jenika.

"We can only thank PT Timah and all those who helped. Hopefully God will repay, because we really need a helping hand to lighten our burden, because the husband is a day laborer, she has to think about finding money for his needs while in Jakarta," she said.
