I am writing to you from the largest Rohingya refugee camp. I have nine children, and three of them are very sick. My 17-year-old daughter has been suffering for the past two years. She is unable to eat anything and has to stay in bed all the time. I have taken her everywhere for check-ups, even to the government hospital, but her condition has not improved.

As a refugee, I cannot afford her medical check-ups anymore. There is another child, named MD Junait, who is facing serious health issues as well. He has been bleeding, and whenever we go to the hospital, the doctors give us medicine for a week. When he takes the medicine, he gets better temporarily, but as soon as it finishes, his symptoms return.

My youngest child is also very sick and not getting better. I am struggling to find the money to take them for further check-ups. Additionally, I have another child with eye problems. After his examination, he still hasn’t recovered and is causing a lot of distress because of his condition.

I am reaching out for help because I cannot manage this situation on my own. I have the prescriptions for their medications and hope to find some assistance. Thank you for listening.
