Change Mahad’s Life with Heart Surgery
Muhammad Mahad's Story
Muhammad Mahad, a 1-year-old boy from Bahawalpur, has been fighting for his life since birth. His tiny chest rises and falls with difficulty, struggling to take in each breath. Even the simplest movements leave him breathless and weak. His parents watched in despair as he failed to gain weight like other children of his age. Concerned for their little boy’s health, they took him to a local hospital. After a thorough evaluation, the doctor diagnosed him with pulmonary hypertension and a large Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)—a serious heart condition that affects blood flow and makes his heart work harder than it should. The doctor has advised VSD closure surgery to save his life. However, the surgical cost is out of his family’s reach.
If Mahad does not undergo this surgery, his condition will continue to worsen. His heart may struggle to pump blood efficiently, leading to severe complications such as heart failure and irreversible lung damage.
Mahad lives in a small house with his parents and two school-going siblings. Due to visual impairment, his father is unable to work and provide for the family. His mother works hard as a seamstress and earns a modest income of PKR 20,000 per month. After paying for utility bills and educational expenses, they are left with barely enough to cover even basic needs. Their financial constraints make it impossible for them to bear the heavy cost of Mahad’s surgery. During this challenging time, Mahad’s parents contacted Transparent Hands and asked for assistance.
With a heavy heart, Mahad’s mother shared her emotions as follows:
“I spend every night praying for my son’s life. He struggles to breathe, and I feel helpless knowing I cannot afford the surgery that will save him. No mother should have to watch her child suffer like this. Please save my child.”
Mahad’s survival depends on this much-needed medical intervention. Your support can give him the chance to have a healthy and happy childhood, free from pain and breathlessness.
Join hands with us to heal Mahad’s tiny heart and fill his future with laughter and joy.
