Heal Abdul Rehman’s Little Heart

Abdul Rehman's Story

Abdul Rehman, a 1-year-old innocent boy from Mardan, has been suffering from severe breathlessness and chest discomfort since birth. Rehman’s parents received a consultation from a doctor who, after a thorough examination, diagnosed him with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and recommended an open-heart surgery for total correction. TOF is a congenital condition, characterized by four commonly present heart abnormalities.

Rehman is not growing like other children and his skin often turns blue. Any mild to moderate physical activity gives him fatigue and makes him breathless. Rehman’s parents are heartbroken to see him struggling to survive each day of life.

Without the urgent open-heart surgery he desperately needs, Rehman’s condition will continue to worsen, putting him at risk of life-threatening complications. His future hangs in the balance and the condition can ultimately cause death.

His parents wish to see him lead a normal and struggle-free life. Unfortunately, the significant cost of the surgery is beyond the family’s financial reach. Rehman lives in a two-room brick house with his nine family members. His father and uncle are daily wage laborers. Their household monthly income of PKR 60,000 hardly covers the utility bills of PKR 4500, groceries, and other living expenses. Moreover, the family is burdened with a loan of PKR 70,000 that was taken for household expenses.

In this challenging time, Rehman’s parents contacted Transparent Hands and asked for help.

Rehman’s parents described their heartfelt plea as follows:

“Every day is a struggle for Rehman and he battles to live normally. His condition makes him tired and weak. We want him to grow and thrive like other kids. However, due to our financial hardships, we are unable to pay for his life-saving surgery. Kindly help our son with living a healthy life.”

The surgery is a life-saving procedure for Rehman. It will allow him to live a healthy life and engage in physical activities without the limitations imposed by his heart defects.
