Help Hosne Ara Fight for Her Life with Urgent Medical Care

Hosne Ara Alauddin, a 73-year-old mother and grandmother, has devoted her life to kindness, spirituality, and advocating for compassion toward all living beings. As a lifelong vegetarian and a source of love and strength in her community she has touched countless lives. Today, she is fighting for her life in the ICU, and we urgently need your support to help her on the path to recovery.

Her Medical Journey

On January 3, 2025, Hosne Ara was admitted to the hospital with severe abdominal pain and vomiting. She was diagnosed with sub-acute intestinal obstruction and underwent an exploratory laparotomy on January 10, during which the surgeons released adhesions and infarcted tissue in her intestines.

While the surgery was successful, she suffered a cardiac arrest immediately after the operation. She was revived after five minutes of CPR, but this traumatic event led to a cascade of life-threatening complications, including:

  • Sepsis with Septic Shock
  • Pneumonia with Bilateral Pleural Effusion
  • Atrial Fibrillation (corrected with medical intervention)
  • Laryngeal Edema
  • Declining Kidney function

Right now, Hosne Ara's condition is critical. Along with complications such as pneumonia and a serious viral infection, her chronic kidney disease (CKD) is also nearing a dangerous stage of failure.

The combination of a fatal infection, pneumonia, and the toxic effects of her medications have also placed immense strain on her kidneys. She remains under close monitoring in the ICU, requiring advanced medical care to stabilize her condition and address these complications.

Rising Medical Expenses

Hosne Ara’s critical condition has placed a tremendous financial burden on her family. Medical expenses have surpassed $9,000 and have fully stretched the family's resources.

Your contributions will help cover the $9,000 in current medical bills and the continued care that will get Hosne Ara back to stable conditions, such as:

  • Continuous ICU care with 24/7 monitoring and mechanical ventilator support
  • Targeted medications for sepsis, pneumonia, and to stabilize her kidney function, including antibiotics, antivirals, and heart medications
  • Diagnostic procedures to monitor kidney function, assess lung health, and track overall progress, followed by post-ICU rehabilitation to help with recovery

How You Can Help:

Hosne Ara has dedicated her life to spreading kindness, advocating for the well-being of all living beings. Today, she needs our kindness in return. Your donation, big or small, will make a difference in giving her the care she needs to recover.

Fundraiser

Hi, my name is Michelle Hinsberg, and I’m the roommate of Arefa Nila, the daughter of Hosne Ara. Arefa is one of the most hardworking people I’ve ever met. She works full-time as a bank teller and puts in 12-hour shifts at a warehouse on weekends—dedicating every single day of the year to supporting her family in Bangladesh.

Right now, her family is facing an incredibly challenging time and urgently needs our help. No one should have to shoulder such a heavy financial burden alone, and Arefa has been doing everything she can to provide for them.

We would deeply appreciate any support you can give. Every donation will go directly toward covering her family's medical bills. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity.
