Jisan Ahmed S., 2

The patient is a 2-year-old boy living with his parents, grandparents, and two uncles in a financially disadvantaged household. His father works as a construction mason and earns approximately USD 49 per month, making it difficult to support the family and afford unexpected medical expenses. On 20 October 2026, the child was admitted to Seba Hospital with a high fever, 12 episodes of loose motion, three episodes of vomiting, and poor feeding, and was diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis with severe dehydration. His family learned about Helpster Charity through a volunteer but cannot afford the necessary hospital treatment on their limited income. Without timely treatment, severe dehydration could cause electrolyte imbalances, kidney complications, shock, and potentially life-threatening consequences

The patient was presented to our facility with a one-day history of a high-grade fever, poor feeding, three episodes of vomiting, and frequent loose stools occurring twelve times, establishing a diagnosis of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) with severe dehydration. Immediate hospitalization was essential to stabilize the child's severe fluid loss through intensive rehydration and close clinical monitoring. If left completely untreated, this critical depletion of fluids can rapidly progress to severe electrolyte imbalances, acute kidney injury, or life-threatening hypovolemic shock.
