Riya M., 3

Riya Moni is a deeply cherished 1-year-old Rohingya girl and the only child of her parents, who dream of seeing her grow up healthy and have a better future. Her father is the family’s only earning member, but as an irregular day laborer he often returns home without finding work, leaving the family largely dependent on World Food Programme (WFP) food assistance and unable to afford Riya’s hospital treatment. After learning about Helpster Charity through the medical outreach at Kutupalong, her parents sought urgent support when severe pneumonia caused worsening fever, cough, rapid breathing, and poor food intake. Without timely treatment, the infection may cause dangerously low oxygen levels, respiratory failure, sepsis, and damage to vital organs. These complications can become life-threatening, making immediate medical support essential to protect their only child’s life.

According to the doctor, hospitalization with antibiotic therapy, nebulization, and other supportive treatment is essential to control Riya’s severe lung infection and improve her breathing. With timely treatment and close monitoring, her fever and cough are expected to improve, breathing should become easier, and she can gradually regain normal feeding, strength, and activity. If left untreated, severe pneumonia may rapidly worsen, causing dangerously low oxygen levels, respiratory failure, sepsis, and damage to vital organs. These complications can become life-threatening, making prompt hospital treatment essential for her recovery.
