Raisa J., 1

Raisa Jannat is a 16-month-old girl who lives with her parents, Abdul Mukit and Minara Begum, and her 4-year-old sister, Taiba Jannat. Her father is the sole earner, working as a day labourer and earning only approximately USD 49 per month, which is mainly spent on food and other basic needs, leaving the family unable to afford Raisa’s medical expenses. The family learned about Helpster Charity through volunteers Tanjila Shahin Ema and Redwan when Raisa developed fever, cough, and worsening breathing difficulty. She was admitted to Seba Hospital with severe pneumonia, a temperature of 102°F and oxygen saturation of only 88%, requiring urgent treatment. Without timely medical care, her severe breathing difficulty and low oxygen level could rapidly worsen, potentially leading to respiratory failure and other life-threatening complications.

According to the doctor, hospitalization with antibiotic therapy, nebulization, and supportive care is expected to control the infection, improve Raisa’s breathing, and restore her oxygen level and overall condition. With timely treatment and close monitoring, she is expected to recover and gradually return to normal feeding and activity. If left untreated, severe pneumonia may cause worsening respiratory distress and dangerously low oxygen levels, which can progress to respiratory failure, sepsis, and other life-threatening complications.
