JEMBER. Program Borong & Berbagi (B&B) senantiasa digulirkan di berbagai daerah oleh Relawan RZ, termasuk di kota Jember. Pada Kamis (17/11) malam relawan RZ menemui salah seorang nenek sepuh penjual kacang tanah, nenek Surwati namanya.
Nenek Surwati menjajakan kacang tanah dagangannya di sekitaran alun-alun Jember. Nenek yang bertempat tinggal di Coralembu Kalisat Jember ini harus berjuang utuk memenuhi kebutuhan sehari-hari seorang diri karena suaminya sudah sepuh dan tak mampu bekerja lagi.
“Kalo dihitung-hitung sih keuntungan tiap malam Rp 10.000 sampe Rp 15.000 dek, ya cuma bisa buat beli beras sudah alhamdulillah.” kata nek Surwati saat berbincang dengan relawan RZ. Sebelum dijajakan di malam hari, di siang hari biasanya Ia membersihkan kacang tanah tersebut bersama suaminya.
Senyum nek Suwarti mengembang ketika relawan ingin memborong semua kacang rebus dagangannya, “Nek, tak borong semuanya ya kacang rebusnya.” kata Ali Akbar, relawan RZ. “Inggih, monggo monggo dek,” sahut nek Surwati setengah tidak percaya.
Akhirnya relawan membawa smua kacang rebus yang diborong dari Surwati yang selanjutnya mereka bagikan kepada orang yang membutuhkan di malam itu juga, ada tukang becak, penjual bunga bahkan bapak-bapak tua yang tidur di pinggir jalan.
