Kapanlagi.com - Since the passing of comedian Sapri Pantun on May 10, 2021, his family's life has started to decline. In fact, his younger brother Dolly mentioned that the late Sapri's family no longer has any savings and had to sell the late Sapri's car to make ends meet.
Currently, Dolly said that the only inheritance left by the late Sapri was the soto food stall business they had established together. That's why Dolly is trying his best to keep the soto stall running, so that he can also provide for the late Sapri's wife and children.
"Honestly, there is no savings left by the late Sapri. Even just 5 months ago, his wife sold the car. There's nothing left," said Dolly in Gunawarman area, South Jakarta, on Tuesday (12/9/2023).
"That's why the only thing left is Bang Sapri's soto stall. It's our business, me and him, together. That's why we're trying to keep it from closing. Because that's the only thing left by Bang Sapri," Dolly added.
1. Trying to Help the Late Sapri's Children
As an uncle, Dolly doesn't want to see his nieces and nephews live in hardship to the point of dropping out of school. As much as possible, he helps Sapri's children as he promised to the late Sapri.
"Until now, honestly, I have promised to my brother-in-law. Every time I have an event, a certain percentage goes to the late Sapri's children. That's my promise. Until now, I still pay attention," said Dolly.
2. Worried about His Children
Indeed, before the late Sapri passed away, the comedian was worried about his children's lives after he's gone. That's why Sapri entrusted his children to Dolly.
"So, during that critical time, he always thought about his children. When he was sick, his wife was also pregnant and about to give birth. He asked me to take care of the children," Dolly explained.
3. Many Artist Friends Who Care
After the late Sapri's passing, Dolly is grateful because many of Sapri's fellow artists friends care about the continuation of the children's lives. One of them is presenter Raffi Ahmad, who now bears the cost of schooling for one of Sapri's children.
"If the first child receives a scholarship assisted by Raffi Ahmad. So this first child is assisted until graduating from elementary school. Later, God willing, it will continue until junior high school," Dolly concluded.
