Abdullah Awaits Surgery to Overcome Chronic Tonsillitis

Abdullah Khan's Story

Abdullah Khan, a 12-year-old boy from Karachi, has been experiencing repeated episodes of sore throat for four years. He also suffers from high-grade fever accompanied by throat pain, body weakness, and lethargy. Activities like speaking and swallowing have become increasingly challenging for him. Concerned about his condition, his parents took him to a local hospital and received consultation from a doctor. After performing some lab tests and an ultrasound scan, the doctor diagnosed Abdullah with chronic tonsillitis – an infection of the tonsils that causes swelling and inflammation. To ease his pain and discomfort, the doctor advised tonsillectomy but the cost of the surgery is overwhelming for his family.

Abdullah is a student and his quality of life has been badly affected by his illness. He can’t focus on his studies and is failing to keep up with his peers. If left untreated, his chronic tonsillitis can lead to tonsillar enlargement, breathing issues while sleeping, and the spread of the infection to other tissues.

Abdullah lives in a small rented house with his three siblings and parents. His siblings are young and studying. Abdullah’s father is the sole breadwinner in the family, works as a daily wage laborer, and earns just PKR 28000 per month. With this meager monthly income, they hardly pay PKR 8000 for house rent, utility bills of PKR 4000 as well as some educational expenses. They are facing immense financial hardships and can’t afford to pay for Abdullah’s much-needed surgery. During this challenging time, Abdullah’s family reached out to Transparent Hands and asked us to register his case.

Abdullah’s mother said in despair:
