Save Radi
A deadly disease has put the life of four-year-old Radi in a permanent distress. Once he gets cuts on his body, the blood does not stop streaming out. Physicians say there is no permanent cure for Haemophilia B that Thaha Yasin Radi is afflicted with, and it requires the patient to be put on lifelong medication and treatment. Radi was diagnosed with the blood clotting disorder when he was seven months old. To keep him alive to date, his mother Ayesha Aktar has spent about Tk 8 lakh, getting into a huge burden of debt. Now for Ayesha, who is separated from Radi's father, it has become impossible to carry on the treatment of his son. Every time Radi gets a wound, he is required to have fresh frozen plasma into his body. It costs Tk 1000-1200 each time. In addition, he needs to take an injection called Factor Nine. Its price varies from Tk 5000 to Tk 20,000, and it is not always available in Bangladesh. Radi will have to undergo this treatment throughout the rest of his life, doctors say. Left with no alternative, a wretched Ayesha is now seeking help of the people around her to save her only child. Any assistance can be sent to account number 2844101128904, Pubali Bank Ltd, Mirpur Branch, Dhaka. Radi's family can be contacted at 01735055765.
