Jared O., 13

Jared is a 13-year-old boy, the second-born in a family of three children. He lives with his father, who is a single parent, in a marketplace where they operate a small vegetable stall that also serves as their sleeping space at night. His father works tirelessly each day to provide for the family. Jared is a polite, humble, and hardworking boy who enjoys watching and playing football and hopes to become a teacher in the future. Jared had been unwell for about one week, during which he complained of severe headaches, intense abdominal pain, vomiting, restlessness, and poor appetite. Due to financial constraints, his father initially gave him locally prepared herbal remedies, but his condition did not improve. He was later taken to a nearby local clinic, where there was still no significant improvement. After learning about Helpster Charity, his father brought Jared to the health facility for further medical care and support.
