Fozia Israr's Story

Fozia Israr, a 45-year-old woman from Karachi, is suffering from heavy menstrual bleeding, weakness, and tiredness. She faces difficulty in carrying out routine tasks like managing her household, caring for her children, and fulfilling her responsibilities as a housewife. Fozia went to a local hospital and consulted a doctor, who conducted an ultrasound scan and some lab tests and diagnosed Fozia with uterine fibroids. These are non-cancerous growths that develop in the uterus. To relieve her pain and improve her quality of life, her doctor advised a hysterectomy – surgery to remove the uterus. However, the surgical cost is out of her family’s reach.

If Fozia doesn’t get the surgery, she may continue to experience ongoing symptoms like heavy bleeding and pelvic pain. The fibroids can grow and may develop into cancer. Additionally, there may be other risks of complications such as anemia.

Fozia lives in a small brick house with her husband and two school-going children. Her husband works as a security guard at a private firm, earning a monthly income of PKR 20,000. With this meager monthly income, they hardly cover utility bills of PKR 4000 and educational expenses amounting to PKKR 3000 per month. In addition, the staggering loan of PKR 300,000 further complicates their ability to pay for the surgery. During this challenging time, Fozia reached out to Transparent Hands and asked for help.

Fozia said in despair:

“I am scared about my health and want to be well again. My husband is doing everything he can to make ends meet, but the cost of the surgery is far beyond what he can afford. I humbly request you to please help me overcome this illness.”
