In terms of health, Jamal has received medical treatment at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (RSCM) in Jakarta with financing from BPJS Kesehatan Insurance.

Jamal's father, Solihun, earns a fortune by selling doger ice.
From selling, he earns a profit of IDR 50,000 per day which he uses to meet the needs of four family members.
But sometimes Solihun can't sell because the motorbike he uses often breaks down.
For this reason, the Ministry of Social Affairs assists to repair motorbikes for Solihun so that he can work without worrying about his vehicle breaking down. Solihun was also given additional capital for his ice doger business.
"I'm very grateful, now I don't have to worry about not being able to sell because the motorbike broke down. My children have also been given various kinds of assistance. There are toys, there are also bicycles", said Solihun.
