Change Hadiya Rizwan’s Life with Open-Heart Surgery

Hadiya Rizwan's Story

Hadiya Rizwan, a 5-year-old girl from Lahore, has been experiencing breathlessness, chest discomfort, and fatigue since birth. Hadiya is battling with life and is not growing properly like other kids of her age and looks frail. She becomes tired easily, affecting her ability to engage in physical activities with peers. Concerned about her condition, her parents received a medical consultation from a doctor, who conducted some medical tests and diagnosed Hadiya with Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) – an abnormal opening between the upper heart’s chambers, Right Pulmonary Artery (RPA) stenosis, and Right Ventricular Volume Overload (RVVO). To give Hadiya a chance at normal life, the doctor recommended open-heart surgery for ASD closure. Unfortunately, the financial strain of the surgery is beyond Hadiya’s family’s financial reach.

If she doesn’t undergo the surgery soon, her heart condition will continue to worsen and become life-threatening. She will not be able to beat the disease and may lose her life.

Hadiya lives in a two-room brick house with her five family members. She has two siblings, one is younger than her and the other one is a student. Her father, the sole breadwinner in the family, works as a security guard and earns PKR 35,000 per month. With this insufficient monthly income, managing the utility bills adding up to PKR 7000 monthly, educational expenses of PKR 4000, as well as grocery expenses is significantly challenging for the family. They have no insurance and no savings at all to pay for the costly surgery. In such a challenging time, Hadiya’s family turned to Transparent Hands and asked us to help.
