  • Mantan petenis asal Amerika, Andy Roddick, berinisiatif memberikan bantuan bagi keluarga-keluarga miskin di Austin, Texas.
  • Bantuan Andy Roddick berupa dua paket makanan dalam sehari untuk anak-anak yang selama ini tergantung pada sekolah.
  • Andy Roddick, 37, ingin merasakan kebanggaan berbagi seperti yang telah menjadi tradisi dalam komunitas tenis.

SKOR.id – Petenis Roger Federer mengapresiasi inisiatif Andy Roddick Foundation (ARF) untuk membantu keluarga miskin di Austin, Texas, yang terpengaruh krisis global.

ARF adalah yayasan sosial yang didirikan oleh mantan petenis profesional Amerika, Andy Roddick, 37, pada 2000.

Pada 3 April 2020, ARF menggalang Family Emergency Fund (Dana Darurat Keluarga/FEF)) untuk memberi bantuan makanan bagi anak-anak dari keluarga yang terpuruk dalam situasi sulit.

"Ini masalah besar,” kata Andy Roddick pada ATPTour.com.

“Jika Anda berpikir tentang biaya bahan makanan, bahkan sumbangan terkecil pun dapat menutupi bahan makanan sehari, yang saat ini terbilang besar.”

Menurut Roddick, anak-anak yang paling terpengaruh karena banyak dari mereka bergantung pada dua makanan bernutrisi yang ditawarkan oleh sekolah.

Padahal, hingga saat ini, sekolah-sekolah di seluruh Amerika masih ditutup untuk menghindari penyebaran virus Covid-19. 

“Itu prioritas kami: mengganti dua makanan dalam sehari itu, sehingga meringankan beban keluarga yang sudah berpotensi stres oleh tekanan finansial.”

Beruntung, ARF telah memiliki perencanaan matang sebelumnya sehingga alokasi distribusi bantuan cukup lancar.

"Kami juga memiliki staf, makanan, dan begitu banyak kebutuhan berbeda yang harus kami tangani sekarang ini,” ucap juara US Open 2003 itu.

“Untuk periode seperti saat ini, setiap donasi kita bisa membuat perbedaan untuk sebuah keluarga di Texas,” kata Roddrick.

Dalam tiga hari pertama sejak diluncurkannya program FEF, telah terkumpul dana lebih dari 15 ribu dolar AS atau sekitar Rp234 juta.

Ini kabar positif, tetapi Roddick ingin seperti bintang tenis lainnya yang konsisten membantu orang-orang di sekitar mereka, seperti Novak Djokovic dan Roger Federer.

"Ketika Anda melihat aksi sosial orang-orang seperti Novak, Roger, Billie Jean King, Andre Agassi, Martina Navratilova, Venus dan Serena Williams, tenis memang selalu memiliki budaya ini, peduli sesama.”

“Itu menimbulkan semacam kebanggaan untuk menjadi bagian dari komunitas itu, sekaligus menciptakan tanggung jawab untuk melakukan bagian Anda,” kata Andy Roddick.
