Jakarta –
Because of his actions to help elderly pregnant women who have lost hope, the TikTok account @ayah_sejuta_anak is always the subject of discussion. Now the account belonging to Hendra Abdul Halim which contains ‘reports’ of activities to rescue these unwanted babies has more than 200 thousand followers.
Unwanted pregnancies often lead to cases of abortion, discarding babies, to cases of mothers committing suicide. Even though the problem will not be solved with this solution. This is the reason for Hendra to move to save babies whose lives are threatened by their own parents.
Hendra the ‘Father of a Million Children’ simply acts as a helper for mothers who experience unwanted pregnancies. He bridges the birth of babies to be raised in orphanages owned by relatives. Hendra also bears the cost of pregnancy check-ups until delivery. For pregnant women who do not have shelter in the last months of their pregnancy, Hendra invites them to stay at his house until they give birth.
“Yes, at first we were concerned, yes, the concerns of children who were usually thrown away. Abortion, or usually running to a shaman,” explained Hendra when met by the team. detik.com for the Figure program (26/6/2022).
Hendra’s actions on social media can be said to be unique. Why not, he calls the women who live in his house as ‘wives’.
“I call them ‘wives’, that’s actually when I (driving pregnant women) at the puskesmas, hospital, that’s why they must be asked, ‘Where’s her husband?’ I am her husband,” explained Hendra.
