Give Hashim the Gift of Hearing

Syed Muhammad Hashim Shah's Story

Syed Muhammad Hashim Shah, a charming and innocent one-year-old boy from Islamabad, finds himself trapped in a world of silence as thick clouds hover over his childhood. Recently diagnosed with sensorineural hearing loss, he has been recommended the life-changing solution of cochlear implant surgery. This crucial procedure holds the potential to completely transform Hashim’s life, granting him the precious gift of hearing and the ability to connect with his surroundings.

Hashim’s family resides in a modest one-room rented house in Islamabad, comprising his parents and one sibling. His father is the sole breadwinner, earning a monthly income of only PKR 20,000. After paying the house rent of PKR 3,000, utility bills of PKR 1,000, and managing grocery and daily expenses, there is no financial room for saving up for the expensive cochlear implant surgery that Hashim urgently requires. The burden of this financial situation weighs heavily on their shoulders, further intensifying their despair.

Hashim’s father said in despair:

“Witnessing my son grow up in a world devoid of sound fills me with profound sadness. He is missing out on the simple joys of life, and our financial struggles only deepen the anguish in my soul.”

With hope flickering in his heart and a plea for assistance, Hashim’s father turns to Transparent Hands, seeking a lifeline for his son, who is engulfed in the silence that shrouds his existence. Without the gift of cochlear implant surgery, Hashim’s world will forever remain enveloped in silence. Together, let us join hands and rewrite his story, bestowing upon him the extraordinary gift of hearing and opening the doors to a future brimming with boundless possibilities.
