Abdul Waris's Story

Abdul Waris, a 3-year-old boy from Lahore, has been suffering from pain due to a lump in his right inguinal region since birth. With time, his lump increased in size and became extremely painful. Concerned about his condition, his parents took him to a nearby hospital and consulted a doctor. After conducting some lab tests and an ultrasound scan, the doctor diagnosed Waris with a right inguinal hernia, a condition where part of the intestine bulges through the abdominal wall in the groin area. To prevent potential complications, the doctor recommended herniotomy- a surgical procedure to remove the hernial sac. Unfortunately, the surgical cost is overwhelming for his family.

The persistent pain and discomfort have limited his ability to play or engage in physical activities. If Abdul Waris doesn’t undergo the surgery soon, his hernia may become strangulated; cutting off the blood supply to the intestine. This may lead to severe pain, vomiting, infection, or even life-threatening bowel damage.

He lives in a two-room rented house with his parents and four siblings. His father is a factory employee and his mother is a seamstress, both working hard to make ends meet. His family’s monthly income is just PKR 25000 per month. This monthly income is insufficient to pay PKR 2000 for house rent, PKR 3000 for utility bills, and the living expenses of five children. Additionally, they are burdened with a staggering loan of PKR 300,000, leaving no room for savings to pay for his surgery. During this time of need, his family contacted Transparent Hands and asked us for help.

Waris’ parents said in despair:

“We just want to see him happy and living a pain-free life. Every time he cries in pain, we feel helpless. We can’t afford the surgery, and we need your help during this time of need.”
