Give Hammad the Gift of Hearing
Hammad Ali's Story
Hammad Ali, a lively and sweet 2-year-old boy from Naushero Feroz, finds himself trapped in a silent world since birth. He was diagnosed with congenital hearing loss, but his parents did not lose hope and were still determined to find a solution to connect him with the world in a normal way.
Now, Hammad’s doctor has advised a life-changing treatment called a cochlear implant, which holds the key to unlocking Hammad’s potential and giving him the gift of hearing. This innovative procedure would open up a world of limitless possibilities, allowing Hammad to fully connect with the world around him.
Hammad lives in a mud house with his parents in the village of Naushero Feroz. He is the first child of his parents. His father is a hard-working farmer and the only breadwinner in the family. His father’s monthly income is just PKR 15,000, which is not enough to cover the daily expenses, utility bills, and grocery. Due to limited financial resources, his father cannot afford to pay for the costly cochlear implant surgery that Hammad desperately requires.
Hammad’s father expressed his sadness and helplessness in the following words:
“Seeing my son struggle to connect with the world, unable to hear laughter and joy, weighs heavily on my heart.” I want to assist him, but our limited finances cannot afford the expense of the operation he requires. I request all the kind-hearted donors to come forward and donate towards Hammad’s surgery funds.”
With a cry for help, Hammad’s family contacted Transparent Hands, a light of hope in their darkest hour. It is a wonderful opportunity to give Hammad the gift of hearing and unleashing a future full of limitless opportunities. Donate today to guarantee that Hammad’s world is no longer veiled in silence, but instead lighted by the wonderful symphony of sounds.

Hammad Ali's Story
Hammad Ali, a 2-year-old boy from Naushahro Feroze, Sindh, had been suffering from the inability to hear since birth. His parents noticed that Hammad was not responding to voices like other kids of his age. Concerned about his condition, they took him to a nearby hospital and consulted a doctor, who after performing a thorough examination diagnosed Hammad with congenital sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). It was shocking news for Hammad’s parents and made them extremely worried about his condition. To allow him to hear and respond to voices, the doctor advised cochlear implant surgery as the solution. Seeing their son hear and experience his surroundings fully was Hammad’s parents' biggest dream, but their financial constraints became an obstacle on his path toward recovery. Living in a small mud house, the family hardly made ends meet. Hammad’s father is a farmer and has a meager monthly income of PKR 15000. Affording the costly surgery was a distant dream for them. In this dark time, a ray of hope arose when a family member told them about Transparent Hands and they contacted us for help. We listened to their concerns and registered Hammad’s case. On 25th July 2024, Hammad was admitted to GIMS Hospital in Gambat. His parents were filled with a mixture of fear and hope. The surgery took place on 26th July 2024. Dr. Maqbool Ahmed skillfully fitted the internal component of the cochlear implant device. The surgery was a remarkable success and finally, the door to the world of sounds was opened for Hammad. After receiving post-operative care and medications, Hammad was discharged on 27th August 2024. Six weeks after the surgery, the external component of the cochlear implant was installed. His journey to recovery and introduction to the world of sounds is ongoing with speech therapy sessions. Hammad’s parents expressed their gratitude as follows: "We feel blessed to have received such amazing support during this time. We are grateful for all the support. Your contributions have truly transformed Hammad’s life. Thank you for being there for our son!” Today, Hammad is thriving and learning to navigate the world of sounds. His parents cannot believe the transformation they see in their son. They are deeply grateful to you for making this surgery possible.
