Give for Shahbaz Moeen’s Inguinal Hernioplasty

Shahbaz Moeen's Story

Shahbaz Moeen, a 64-year-old man from Kasoor, has been suffering from a right inguinal hernia for three months. He has a painful lump in his right groin region. He received symptomatic treatment but the lump kept growing in size. He consulted with another doctor who recommended Inguinal Hernioplasty. Inguinal Hernioplasty is a surgical procedure to repair a hernia in the groin. A hernia is a tissue that bulges out of a weak spot in the abdomen.

Shahbaz, a father of four children, is the sole breadwinner in his family and works as an automobile mechanic. His health condition limits his ability to work. He earns approximately PKR 50,000 per month, from which he pays PKR 12000 for rent and PKR 10,000 for utility bills. He lives in a modest 2-marla rented house. Shahbaz’s financial situation is a significant barrier in his path toward recovery.

In his distress, Shahbaz said:

“The persistent pain due to this painful lump has disrupted my daily life. I dream of a day when I can live a pain-free life. Being the father of four children and the sole breadwinner of the family, I am heartbroken to see myself in this unfortunate situation. I appeal to all donors to contribute to my surgery.”

Shahbaz Moeen's Story

Shahbaz Moeen, a 64-year-old man from Kasur, was suffering from a lump in his right inguinal region. With time, the lump gradually increased in size and became painful. His condition badly impacted his daily activities as it gave him extreme pain and discomfort during routine activities such as walking, lifting, and standing for long periods. He consulted a doctor, who conducted some diagnostic tests and an ultrasound scan and diagnosed Shahbaz with a right inguinal hernia. To alleviate his pain and prevent potential complications, the doctor recommended right inguinal hernioplasty. Unfortunately, the cost of the surgery was beyond Shahbaz’s financial capacity. He lived in a rented house with his seven family members. Shahbaz, the sole breadwinner in the family, works as an automobile mechanic. His monthly income was insufficient to support seven family members along with managing the house rent, utility bills as well as groceries. With such financial hardships, the surgical cost was an additional financial burden for him. With hope in his heart, Shahbaz contacted Transparent Hands and asked us for assistance. Recognizing the critical nature of his situation, we registered his case. On 07-08-2024, Shahbaz was admitted to Lahore Care Hospital, and his surgery was performed by Dr. Ahmed Fawad. He skillfully did the operation and made it successful. After receiving post-operative care and essential medications, Shahbaz was discharged on 08-08-2024. Shahbaz Moeen expressed his emotions as follows: “Your support made a meaningful impact on my life. Now, I don’t face discomfort. Today marks a new beginning for me. Thanks a lot for helping me!” The successful surgery gave Shahbaz new hope and healing and filled his life with optimism and strength. He can now continue to fulfill his role as a father and husband without limitations caused by his disease. Shahbaz and his family are incredibly grateful to you for helping him in his time of need. Your contributions transformed his life.
