Sara Ban T., 1

Sara Ban Tahura is a 3-month-old baby girl from a financially disadvantaged family living in a modest tin-roofed house. Her father is the sole earning member and works as a day laborer, earning approximately USD 41 per month, which is barely enough to meet the family’s basic needs and leaves them unable to afford Sara’s medical expenses. Previously well, Sara developed cold, cough, and fever followed by respiratory distress and excessive crying, and she was diagnosed with severe pneumonia, with crepitations in both lungs and oxygen saturation of 92%. Without timely treatment, her breathing difficulty and infection could worsen and lead to serious respiratory complications. The family learned about Helpster Charity through volunteer Redwan Hussen Shiplu, who helped them access the medical support Sara urgently needs.

According to the treatment plan, hospitalization with antibiotic therapy, nebulization, and supportive care is expected to control Sara’s severe pneumonia, improve her breathing and oxygenation, reduce fever, and support her recovery. With timely treatment and close monitoring, she is expected to stabilize and gradually return to normal feeding and activity. If left untreated, the infection may worsen rapidly in this young infant, causing increasing respiratory distress, dangerously low oxygen levels, respiratory failure, or other serious complications.
