Md Rakib H., 13

Md. Rakib Hasan is a 13-year-old Madrasha student from a financially disadvantaged family of five. His father is the sole earning member and works as a day laborer, earning approximately USD 57 per month, which is barely enough to meet the family’s basic needs and leaves little money for medical treatment. Rakib was previously active in his studies but has been suffering from prolonged high fever for 30 days, with cough and loss of appetite, and treatment from a local pharmacy did not improve his condition. He was later diagnosed with typhoid fever after hospital evaluation and investigations, requiring appropriate medical care to recover and return to his studies. The family learned about Helpster Charity through Bablu Abdullah, giving them an opportunity to seek financial support for Rakib’s treatment.

According to the treatment plan, hospitalization with parenteral antibiotic therapy and supportive care is expected to control the typhoid infection, reduce the persistent fever, improve appetite and strength, and support Rakib’s recovery. With timely treatment and close monitoring, he is expected to regain his health and gradually return to his normal activities and studies. If left untreated or inadequately treated, typhoid fever may persist or worsen and can lead to serious complications such as intestinal bleeding or perforation, severe infection, and other potentially life-threatening complications.
