Enable Horain to Hear the Sounds Around Her

Horain Zainab's Story

Horain Zainab, a 2-year-old girl from Dera Ghazi Khan, has been living in a world of silence since birth. Unlike other children of her age, she has never heard the soothing voice of her mother, the laughter of her siblings, or the simple yet beautiful sounds of life. Her parents first noticed something was wrong when she did not respond to their voices or react to loud noises. With growing concern, they took her to a doctor. After undergoing multiple diagnostic tests Horain was diagnosed with congenital sensorineural hearing loss. Her doctor has recommended cochlear implant surgery that will enable her to hear. However, the cost of the surgery is out of her family’s reach.

The sooner Horain receives the cochlear implant, the better her chances of speech and language development which are important at her age. If she doesn’t undergo the surgery on time, she might not be able to develop the ability to hear and speak.

Horain lives in a small house with her parents and one sibling. Her father is a police employee and earns PKR 60,000 per month. Despite his hard work, the family’s financial burden is overwhelming. With utility bills and other daily necessities, there is little left to save. On top of this, they are burdened with a loan of PKR 400,000, making it impossible for them to afford the expensive cochlear implant surgery. Feeling helpless, they have turned to Transparent Hands for support.

With pain in their voices, Horain’s family said:

“We dream of the day when she will turn to us when we call her name. It breaks our hearts that we cannot provide her with the necessary treatment on our own. Kindly help our little girl experience the world like other children.”

Horain’s future is in your hands. Your generosity can help her hear her parents’ voices, learn to speak, and live a normal life. Let’s stand together and change her life!
