Sakib Hossain S., 12

Sakib Hossain Siam is a 12-year-old madrasa student who enjoys reading and playing sports and dreams of becoming an educated scholar to support his family. He has been suffering from recurrent severe sore throat and frequent nosebleeds for nearly two years, and his condition has increasingly affected his daily life and studies. His father, Zahid Hasan, is the sole earning member of the five-member family and earns only approximately USD 66 per month as a daily laborer, making it difficult to meet basic household needs and afford medical treatment. Sakib was diagnosed with Adenotonsillitis with Bilateral Hypertrophied Inferior Turbinates and epistaxis, and without appropriate treatment, his recurrent symptoms may continue and cause further health and functional problems. The family learned about Helpster Charity through a medical outreach camp organized by Helpster Charity in Geneva Camp, giving them hope of receiving the care Sakib needs.

Adenotonsillectomy with cauterization of the bleeding vessels and turbinoplasty is expected to relieve the enlarged tonsil and adenoid obstruction, improve nasal breathing, and reduce recurrent throat infections and nosebleeds. With successful treatment and appropriate follow-up, Sakib is expected to experience better breathing, sleep, comfort, and participation in school and daily activities. If left untreated, persistent obstruction and recurrent inflammation may continue to cause significant throat and nasal symptoms, while recurrent epistaxis may lead to repeated blood loss and further complications.
