Arvin H., 12

Arvin Hasan is a cheerful 12-year-old Class 4 student who loves playing football and dreams of becoming a doctor. He lives with his six-member family in a rented home in Geneva Camp, where his father is the sole earning member and earns approximately USD 89 per month as a salon worker, making it extremely difficult for the family to meet their basic needs and afford Arvin’s treatment. He had suffered from nasal blockage for eight years, which recently progressed to severe breathing difficulties and obstructive sleep apnea, and doctors diagnosed him with Grade IV enlarged adenoids causing severe airway obstruction. The family learned about Helpster Charity through a medical outreach camp in Geneva Camp and sought assistance for the treatment he urgently needed. Without timely treatment, the severe airway obstruction and repeated breathing interruptions during sleep could lead to prolonged oxygen deprivation and other serious health complications

According to the doctor, adenoidectomy followed by nasal spray, nasal irrigation, and decongestant therapy is expected to relieve the severe airway obstruction and improve Arvin’s breathing. Successful treatment should reduce nasal blockage, improve sleep quality, and decrease episodes of obstructive sleep apnea, allowing him to return to normal daily activities. If left untreated, persistent airway obstruction may cause repeated breathing interruptions and dangerously low oxygen levels during sleep. In severe cases, prolonged oxygen deprivation can lead to serious cardiovascular and developmental complications
