Afsana K., 18

Afsana Khatun, an 18-year-old housewife, finds herself in a heartbreaking situation as her breech pregnancy requires an urgent C-section. Her husband, Atik Hosen, a 22-year-old rickshaw puller, works tirelessly, but their family's monthly income of just 8000 taka is barely enough to cover their basic needs. With her elderly father-in-law, Naser Ali, unable to work, and her mother-in-law, Aleya Begum, focused on caring for the home, the financial burden weighs heavily on them all. Afsana worries that without the surgery, both she and her unborn child could face grave risks, including serious complications. Driven by love for her family and a fierce determination, Afsana reaches out to Helpster Heroes, hoping that their support can provide her with a fighting chance for a safe delivery.

Afsana Khatun was admitted to the hospital on June 27, 2025, with a diagnosis of Breech Presentation. On the same day, she had a successful cesarean section and gave birth to a healthy baby. Both mother and newborn were discharged on July 01, 2025, in good health. Her husband came to the hospital to receive her and their child. The family expressed their gratitude to Helpster, Jamuna Clinic, Bablu Abdullah, and Amulla for their treatment and support. Her husband was especially thankful for the financial assistance provided by Helpster.

Afsana Khatun’s condition, characterized by breech presentation at 38 weeks of pregnancy, necessitates a C-section for safe delivery. Without this surgical intervention, both she and her baby face significant risks, including potential birth trauma, umbilical cord prolapse, and asphyxia, which could lead to severe complications or even stillbirth. It is crucial to address this situation promptly to ensure the health and safety of both mother and child.
