Enable Waqas Ahmed to Embrace the World of Sounds

Waqas Ahmed's Story

Waqas Ahmed, a 4-year-old innocent boy from Larkana, Sindh, has been living in a silent world since birth. Due to the lack of awareness about the condition, his parents couldn’t notice his deafness until he was one year old. When his parents noticed his unresponsiveness to loud noises, they took him to a nearby hospital. After running some tests, the doctor diagnosed him with congenital sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). The news gave them a huge shock. After a thorough evaluation, the doctor advised cochlear implant surgery to enable him to hear.

Waqas’s parents are heartbroken to see their son not able to respond to sounds and hear their voices. Waqas avoids playing with kids – his condition has made him socially isolated and frustrated. Unfortunately, the cost of the surgery is overwhelming for Waqas’s family. He lives in a small two-room rented mud house with his four family members. Waqas’s father, the sole breadwinner in his family, makes just PKR 25,000 monthly. With this meager monthly income, he barely manages to cover the house rent amounting to PKR 10,000 and utility bills of PKR 2000. Affording the expensive cochlear implant surgery is impossible for the family, who are already struggling to make ends meet.

In this time of need, Waqas’s family turned to Transparent Hands and asked us to register his case.

Waqas’s parents expressed their heartfelt plea as follows:

“It gives us overwhelming sadness to see our son struggling to connect with the world. We want him to play with kids, grow up like other children, and respond to our voices. No matter how hard we try, we can’t afford the cost of his much-needed surgery. We request you to please contribute without delay.”

Transparent Hands has registered his case and aims to help him gain the ability to hear. Waqas’s life will be transformed if he gets the cochlear implant device. Your contributions will enable him to engage with his friends and family members.
