Ahmed Awaits Total Correction Surgery

Ahmed Karim Ullah's Story

Ahmed, a 3-year-old innocent boy from Manshera, is suffering from Cyanosis and breathlessness on mild to moderate physical activity since birth. His parents recently learned about his condition and visited a doctor, who diagnosed him with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and advised total correction surgery.

Ahmed is the only child of his parents. His father is a daily wager, earning approximately PKR 24,000 per month. The family lives in a rented house, paying PKR 4,500 per month. The father is the sole breadwinner, and there are no other sources of income. Additionally, the family has utility bills amounting to PKR 4,500 and a loan of PKR 50,000 that they are required to pay. Given the financial constraints, Ahmed’s father is unable to afford the expenses for the much-needed surgical treatment. The cost of the total correction surgery is a significant burden on the family, and they are in desperate need of assistance.

Ahmed said in a depressed tone:

“I yearn for the moment when Ahmed can finally experience the pure joy of breathing without the weight of his condition on his heart. I humbly appeal for your kind donations to help make this a reality.”

Ahmed Karim Ullah's Story

Ahmed Karim Ullah, a 3-year-old boy from Lahore, had been battling with breathlessness, fatigue, and chest discomfort since birth. On mild to moderate physical activity, his skin used to take on a bluish color. His parents were worried about his condition and they took him to a local hospital to consult a doctor. After performing a thorough examination and evaluation, the doctor diagnosed him with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), a condition characterized by four heart abnormalities. To allow his heart to function properly, the doctor advised open-heart surgery for total correction. Unfortunately, the cost of the surgery was overwhelming for Ahmed’s family. This surgery was essential. Otherwise, Ahmed wouldn’t have been able to beat the disease and might have lost his life. Ahmed was living in a small rented house with his six family members. His father, the sole provider for the family, worked as a daily wage laborer and used to make just PKR 24000 per month. With this meager monthly income, they were struggling to make ends meet. Moreover, they had no savings at all to pay for Ahmed’s surgery. That’s when Transparent Hands stepped in to help him. Through the contributions of our donors, we arranged surgery for him at one of our panel hospitals. On August 05, 2024, Ahmed was admitted to Ittefaq Hospital in Lahore. The surgery was scheduled for August 07, 2024. Dr. Asim Khan carefully managed his case and repaired the defects in his heart. Ahmed was hospitalized for four days and received post-operative care. On 11th August 2024, he was discharged in satisfactory condition from the hospital. Ahmed’s parents shared their emotions as follows: “The help we received from you gave our son a new lease on life. We are eternally grateful for the care and compassion you showed us. Our son can now breathe normally. Thanks for your help.” Now, Ahmed is recovering and he can enjoy his childhood without getting drained. His family is thankful to you and the Pakistan Children’s Heart Foundation for making a meaningful difference in Ahmed’s life.
