Md Faisal K., 11

Md. Faisal Karim is a hardworking and hopeful 11-year-old boy who studies in Class Four, dreams of becoming a teacher, and lives closely with his parents and four siblings. His father works as an office cleaner and is the family’s only earning member, but his small income must cover food, household needs, and the children’s education, leaving no savings for Faisal’s required orthopedic surgery. After learning about Helpster Charity through the medical outreach at Kutupalong, the family sought support to remove the retained implant in his left femur, which has been causing persistent pain and discomfort. Without timely treatment, the implant may continue to cause pain, irritation, difficulty walking, and restriction of his normal activities, with possible complications such as infection or damage to surrounding tissues. Financial assistance is therefore essential to help Faisal receive proper treatment, regain comfortable movement, and return to his education and normal childhood activities.

According to the doctor, surgical removal of the retained orthopedic implants (IM nail/screws) is recommended to relieve Faisal’s persistent pain and discomfort after his femoral fracture has healed. With successful surgery, proper wound care, pain management, and rehabilitation, he is expected to regain comfortable movement and gradually return to school and normal physical activities. If left untreated, the retained hardware may continue to cause pain, irritation, restricted movement, and difficulty walking, and may increase the risk of infection or damage to surrounding tissues.
