Enable Muhammad Dawood to Hear the Sounds Around Him

Muhammad Dawood's Story

Muhammad Dawood, a 1-year-old boy from Lahore, has been suffering from deafness since birth. His parents are heartbroken to see him in this condition as he has never heard his mother’s comforting voice and the laughter of other children. Upon noticing his unresponsiveness to sounds, his parents took him to a nearby hospital and consulted a doctor, who conducted some medical tests and diagnosed Dawood with congenital sensorineural hearing loss. To open the door of the world of sounds for him, the doctor advised cochlear implant surgery. However, the cost of the surgery is beyond his family’s financial reach.

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

Dawood lives in a small rented house with his parents and one sibling. His father, the sole breadwinner in the family, is an employee at a private company and earns just PKR 45000 per month. This monthly income is insufficient to cover PKR 25000 for house rent, and the monthly utility bills of PKR 4000. Additionally, they need to pay back a significant loan of PKR 150,000. Dawood’s family’s financial situation is stretched thin and they simply can’t afford the costly surgery. During this dark moment, Dawood‘s family contacted Transparent Hands and asked us for help. His parents said with teary eyes:

“Dawood is our innocent child. It’s painful to see him try to hear. Please help our son in undergoing the surgery.”
