Give Asad Ali the Gift of Hearing

Asad Ali's Story

Meet Asad Ali, a 4-year-old innocent boy from Shaheed Benazirabad, Sindh, who has been living in a world of silence since birth. Due to their lack of awareness, his parents noticed his hearing impairment when he was one year old. Upon consultation with an audiologist, Asad was diagnosed with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). It is a condition in which hearing mehanism does not develop in a child. Due to his inability to hear sounds and voices, Asad feels disconnected from the world. The doctor has recommended cochlear implant surgery as the only solution to restore his hearing.

Asad experiences social withdrawal as the condition has also restricted his ability to speak. He is unable to communicate with his friends and family members. His parents want him to undergo the surgery but the cost of the surgery looms heavily over them. Asad lives in a one-room mud house along with three family members. His father is the sole provider for the family. He works as a daily wage laborer and brings in PKR 32,000 per month. With this meager monthly income, it is challenging for them to cover the cost of utility bills and other living expenses.

In this challenging financial situation, the cost of the surgery is beyond their financial means. A ray of hope arose when someone told them about Transparent Hands.

Asad’s parents said in despair:

“It is heartbreaking to see our son struggle to hear us. Due to his hearing impairment, he cannot express his joy and sadness in words. We want to assist him and give him a bright future. Unfortunately, our financial constraints restrict us from doing so. Kindly come forward and support our son in undergoing the life-changing surgery.”

Knowing the impact of a cochlear implant device on his life, we promptly registered his case. However, we need your support to make his surgery possible.

Support Asad Ali and help him live his life to the fullest and enjoy the delightful sounds around him.
