Mohammad R., 1

Mohammad Raihan is a 9-month-old baby boy living with his parents and 5-year-old brother in a family of four without a permanent home. His father, Mohammad Robin, works as a misuk (three-wheeler) driver and earns only approximately USD 57 per month, which is insufficient to cover the family’s basic needs and the cost of hospital treatment. Raihan developed fever, watery diarrhea, and vomiting, and his condition gradually worsened, placing him at significant risk of dehydration; he was diagnosed with invasive diarrhea and admitted for immediate treatment. Without timely medical care and fluid management, severe dehydration and electrolyte imbalance could develop rapidly in such a young child and become life-threatening. The family learned about Helpster Charity through volunteer Masud Rana, allowing Raihan to receive the care he urgently needed.

According to the doctor, hospitalization with appropriate hydration, supportive therapy, and close monitoring is expected to correct dehydration, restore fluid and electrolyte balance, and improve Mohammad Raihan’s overall condition. With timely treatment, he is expected to recover gradually and return to normal feeding and activity. If left untreated, continued diarrhea and vomiting could cause severe dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, weakness, and circulatory complications, which may become life-threatening in a young infant.
