Enable Ibrahim to Explore the World of Sounds

Mohammad Ibrahim Farhan's Story

Mohammad Ibrahim Farhan, a 6-year-old boy from Karachi, is unable to hear and respond to sounds. At his age when most children start to explore different sounds and learn new words, Ibrahim is trapped in his silent world. He has never heard his parents’ and siblings’ voices which other children take for granted. Upon noticing his unresponsiveness to sounds, his parents took him to a local hospital and consulted a doctor. After performing a detailed medical evaluation, the doctor diagnosed Ibrahim with congenital sensorineural hearing loss. To open the door to the world of sounds for him, the doctor advised cochlear implant surgery. Unfortunately, the cost of this expensive surgery is overwhelming for Ibrahim’s family.

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

Ibrahim lives in a modest rented house with his parents and a sister. His father is unemployed right now and they are managing their living expenses with the financial support of their relatives. Each day is a struggle for them as they barely manage to put food on the table and meet other necessities. Ibrahim’s life-changing surgery is costly and they don’t have the means to afford the surgery. During this challenging time, Ibrahim’s parents have turned to Transparent Hands and asked us to register his case.

Ibrahim’s parents expressed their heartfelt plea as follows:

“As parents, it’s extremely difficult for us to see our son struggle to communicate even about his basic needs. Other children of his age enjoy the precious moments of their childhood fully but Ibrahim is unable to do so. We ask you to kindly enable our son to hear and respond to our voices.”

Ibrahim wants to explore the world and live a life where he doesn’t have to sit quietly with his friends. He deserves to hear and speak like them, and only you can provide him with the opportunity to overcome his deafness and start listening like other children.

Your donations can change his life. Come forward and provide Ibrahim with the gift of sounds.
