Donate for Shafique’s Prosthetic Leg

Muhammad Shafique's Story

Muhammad Shafique, aged 57, a resident of Lahore, suffers from chronic diabetes. Little did he know that a routine tour to the market will turn out to prove life threatening for him. On his way back home, he received a minor cut on his left foot. The wound soon turned infected and got necrotic, leaving impact on the entire left leg. Upon examination the doctor revealed that Muhammad Shafique was suffering from diabetic foot. First, his left foot was amputated, and later he had to undergo above knee amputation of the left leg. It has been eight months since he underwent this trauma. Now, in order to perform normal day to day activities he requires a prosthesis. His wife shares Muhammad Shafique’s agony in the following words:

“My husband was a very cheerful and loving person. A visit to the bazar was a must for him. He loved going out, buying stuff for home and meeting people. But life does not always goes as expected. What became of a minor cut is no secret. It’s been eight months now and life has been kind. He has healed. But now in order for him to carry out daily activities as he used to previously we need prosthesis. Sadly, my children, especially the sons do not support us any longer. Their behaviour after Shafique’s illness has left us heartbroken. I fear if we do not get a prosthesis, shafique might lose hope and I might lose him to depression. I do not want that happening. He is currently working as a tailor and earns PKR. 10,000 per month. We live in a rented house. With this amount we are unable to afford a prosthetic leg. Now that we are connected with Transparent Hands, I see a ray of hope.”

Muhammad Shafique, awaits your donations to acquire a prosthesis in order to improve the quality of his life.  Now that he has been connected with Transparent Hands, donate generously to assist Muhammad Shafique in acquiring a prosthetic leg.
