Tajel H., 6

Tajel Hasan is a 6-year-old boy from a financially disadvantaged family whose father, Abdullah Ahmed, is the sole earning member and works as an auto-rickshaw driver, earning approximately USD 57 per month. This limited income must support Tajel, his mother, younger brother, and grandmother, leaving the family unable to afford the cost of his medical treatment. Tajel is an active child who enjoys running and playing, but the gradually increasing swelling and pain in his right groin and scrotal area have made these normal activities increasingly difficult. He was diagnosed with a right-sided hydrocele with inguinal hernia, and without timely treatment, the hernia may become incarcerated or strangulated, potentially causing serious complications and a life-threatening emergency. The family learned about Helpster Charity through volunteers Tanjila Shahin Ema and Redwan, who guided them toward financial assistance for Tajel’s treatment.

Right-sided herniotomy is expected to repair the inguinal hernia and address the associated hydrocele, relieving the swelling, heaviness, and discomfort in Tajel’s groin and scrotal area. With timely surgery and appropriate follow-up, he is expected to recover well and gradually return to normal activities such as walking, running, and playing. If left untreated, the inguinal hernia may become incarcerated or strangulated, potentially causing bowel obstruction, tissue damage, severe infection, and a life-threatening emergency.
