Donate for Asim’s Prosthetic Leg

Asim Iqbal's Story

Nine months ago, an 18-year-old student from Kasur named Asim Iqbal, met a tragic roadside accident that changed his life for good. Despite laborious efforts, the surgeons could not save Asim’s left leg that suffered immense trauma. Sadly, he had to undergo above knee amputation. Even in the darkest phase of his life, Asim Iqbal remained optimistic. The zeal for life kept him motivated to heal and continue his life by making it better. He was determined to get a prosthesis and luckily got one from Hope Rehabilitation Centre. Asim shares his ordeal in the following words:

“At first I felt as if my life has ended, but then I thought, No, I can not give up on life. This life is God’s gift so I will strive to survive. But on certain days I had to battle my thoughts and force myself to look at the bright side. After getting healed the next challenge was to get a prosthesis. After much struggle, luckily I got a prosthesis from Hope Rehabilitation Centre and learnt how to walk. Later I continued with my studies. My prosthesis has totally worn out and I require a new one in order to carry out day to day activities. My father is a security guard, and earns PKR. 10,000 a month. With a debt surmounting to PKR. 50,000 and a family of seven to provide for, my father can sadly not afford a Prosthesis for me.”

Asim Iqbal’s optimism can even be seen in his signature on the medical file, where he has incorporated a star in it. Luckily, now that Asim Iqbal and his family have been connected with Transparent Hands, you can generously donate for Asim Iqbal’s prosthesis and fill his life with the stars that he dreams of.
