Md. Sabbir R., 6

Md. Sabbir Rahman is a cheerful 6-year-old boy who enjoys drawing and playing football and lives with his family in a rented single-room temporary shelter in Geneva Camp, Dhaka. His father is the sole earner, working as an auto cleaner and earning only about USD 81 per month, with no savings to manage the family’s basic needs or Sabbir’s medical expenses. Sabbir previously received Helpster Charity support in March 2026 (Case ID 4924), but his family now faces another critical situation as he was urgently admitted with dengue shock syndrome and pneumonia after ten days of high fever, vomiting, and severe respiratory distress. The family learned about Helpster Charity through a Helpster medical outreach camp in Geneva Camp and is again seeking assistance because they have no financial means to cover his treatment. Without urgent treatment, dengue-related plasma leakage and severe pneumonia may progress to circulatory collapse, acute respiratory failure, and potentially fatal complications.

Treatment with IV fluid infusion to control dehydration, IV albumin to reduce the risk of plasma leakage, broad-spectrum antibiotics to control infection, and close monitoring is expected to stabilize Sabbir’s circulation, improve his respiratory condition, and support recovery from dengue shock syndrome and pneumonia. With timely treatment and careful monitoring, he is expected to recover and gradually return to normal activities. If left untreated, plasma leakage and severe pneumonia may worsen, leading to persistent shock, severe respiratory distress, organ dysfunction, and other potentially life-threatening complications.
