Mijan A., 18

Mijan is an 18-year-old young man who enjoys playing football and was injured after falling while playing, resulting in severe pain and swelling in his left wrist. His father, Faruk Ahmed (50), works at a chicken farm and earns only around USD 41 per month, while Mijan’s two elder brothers are currently unemployed or unable to work, leaving the family with very limited financial support. They live in a modest tin-roofed house with a mud floor and struggle to meet their daily needs and medical expenses, making it difficult to afford Mijan’s treatment. He was admitted to Seba Hospital on 26 August 2026, where an X-ray confirmed a greenstick fracture of the lower end of the left radius. Without proper treatment, the fracture may heal improperly and cause persistent pain, weakness, or restricted wrist movement, affecting his ability to return to normal activities and sports. The family learned about Helpster Charity through hospital staff.

According to the treating doctors, conservative treatment with a short-arm backslab, rest, and proper monitoring is recommended to manage Mifan Ahmed’s greenstick fracture of the left radius. With timely treatment and appropriate immobilization, the fracture is expected to heal properly, allowing him to gradually regain normal wrist movement and return to his usual activities. If left untreated, the fracture may heal incorrectly and cause persistent pain, deformity, restricted wrist movement, or reduced hand function. Proper follow-up is important to ensure satisfactory healing and prevent long-term complications.
