Jory Marshal K., 2

Jorry is the younger of two children and lives with his mother and sibling. They occupy a single-room, mud-walled house without electricity. His mother is the sole breadwinner, earning a living through casual domestic work. On the morning of the incident, she was working in a distant neighbourhood when she received an urgent call informing her that Jorry had been burned by hot liquid. She explained that she usually left him with a trusted neighbour who was often at home. On returning, she immediately rushed him to the hospital. Several days into his treatment, his mother requested an early discharge, although he had not fully recovered, because she feared the growing bill would exceed what she could afford. A staff member then explained Helpster Charity’s support. She expressed happiness and gratitude at the prospect of assistance with his treatment costs.

Jory sustained significant second-degree burns affecting both buttocks and the backs of both thighs, estimated at 15% of his total body surface area. Superficial second-degree burns generally heal well with appropriate care, while deeper burns may require surgery and carry a greater risk of scarring. Jory's prognosis is good.
