Tasfiya Seddika A., 14

Tasfiya Seddika Aymon is a 14-year-old bright and hardworking student in Grade Seven who dreams of becoming a doctor and is deeply loved as the youngest of seven siblings. Her father is the family’s sole breadwinner, earning only approximately USD 37 per month from cultivating rented land, while also carrying significant debt from his daughters’ weddings, making it impossible to afford her specialized treatment. The family learned about Helpster Charity through the medical outreach at Kutupalong after Tasfiya developed persistent pain, swelling, deformity, and difficulty using her right arm following an accidental fall three months ago. She was diagnosed with a displaced fracture of the right forearm requiring specialized orthopedic treatment, but no nearby government facility can provide the necessary care. Without timely treatment, the fracture may heal improperly, resulting in persistent deformity, pain, restricted movement, and long-term disability of her right upper limb.

According to the treating physician, admission for close monitoring, orthopedic consultation, pain management, confirmation of diagnosis, application of a short arm back slab, and follow-up X-ray are recommended to stabilize the displaced forearm fracture and assess bone alignment. With appropriate management and follow-up, the fracture is expected to heal with improved alignment, reduced pain, and gradual restoration of right-arm movement and function. If left untreated, the fracture may heal in an abnormal position, causing persistent deformity, pain, restricted movement, and long-term impairment of the affected arm.
