Hasan P., 15

Hasan Prodhania is a determined 15-year-old Class 7 student who lives with his parents and younger brother, Saiful Islam, and hopes to continue his education despite his family’s difficult circumstances. His father, Ayat Ali, is the family’s only earning member, working as a day labourer for just BDT 7,000 per month, which is barely enough to meet their basic needs and leaves no money for hospitalization, investigations, medicines, and ongoing treatment. With no permanent home and no savings, the family sought assistance from Helpster Charity through volunteer Masud Rana when Hasan’s breathing became increasingly difficult. Without timely treatment, the fluid around both lungs may increase and severely restrict his breathing, leading to low oxygen levels, infection, respiratory failure, and other life-threatening complications. Financial support is therefore essential to help Hasan receive proper treatment, recover safely, and return to school and normal life.

According to the doctor, Hasan requires immediate hospitalization, antibiotic therapy, close monitoring, and other supportive treatment to control infection, reduce complications, and improve his breathing. With timely and appropriate treatment, the pleural fluid is expected to decrease, allowing his lungs to expand better and helping him gradually return to normal daily activities and school. If left untreated, the fluid may continue to accumulate, causing severe breathing difficulty, low oxygen levels, serious chest infection, respiratory failure, and other life-threatening complications. Early treatment is essential for a safe recovery and to prevent long-term lung damage.
