JAKARTA - A wave of solidarity between artists and public figures continues to flow to help victims of large floods in Sumatra.

A number of big names, ranging from comics to influencers, not only opened the door to donations but also managed to exceed the set target.

What they did has shown how the Indonesian people responded quickly when they saw each other needed help.

One of the highlights was the initiative initiated by Praz Teguh. Initially, it targeted Rp. 2.5 billion, but now the donation initiated by the Minang-blooded comic has reached more than Rp. 3 billion.

This fundraising period is still open until December 28, 2025, opening up opportunities for funds to be raised more.

No less successful, Rachel Vennya also managed to exceed the target she set. With an initial target of IDR 1.2 billion, the donations collected through its platform have now exceeded the figure of IDR 1.3 billion.

Meanwhile, the unique initiative came from musician Reza Arap. Through a live broadcast, Reza managed to raise more than IDR 60 million from his audience.

Feeling that it was not enough, he even promised to complete the total donation to Rp. 100 million as a form of his personal contribution.

Furthermore, influencer Ferry Irwandi recorded the most significant achievement. Initially targeting a donation of IDR 5 billion, Ferry reported that the funds he managed to raise had exceeded the figure of more than IDR 10 billion.

Ferry Irwandi's fundraising is rumored to have been closed after reaching this fantastic figure.

Slightly different, Ivan Gunawan chose a formal donation path. He made a direct contribution of Rp150 million through the National Zakat Agency (BAZNAS) to ensure that assistance was distributed through official institutions.

The quick response action of these public figures became an important backbone in meeting the urgent logistics needs for thousands of victims who were severely affected by flood disasters in three provinces, namely Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra.
