Help Asfand Embrace the Symphony of Life
Asfand Awais's Story
Asfand, a delightful two-year-old boy from Mehrub Pur, has known a world of silence since birth. Despite his charming name, it saddens his loved ones that he cannot respond when called or recognize the loving voices of his parents. Tragically, the cost of the cochlear implant surgery that can restore his hearing is beyond the financial means of his parents. We humbly implore you to extend your support to Asfand and help him unlock the vibrant world of sounds that awaits him. Your generous contribution can make this life-changing transformation possible.
Ever since Asfand was a year old, his parents noticed that he did not react to the sounds around him. Concerned for his well-being, they took him to the local hospital, where he underwent a series of tests. Following consultations with medical professionals, he was diagnosed with sensorineural hearing loss. The doctors recommended cochlear implant surgery as the most effective solution. A cochlear implant is a remarkable electronic device that emits electrical signals to stimulate the cochlear nerve responsible for hearing. Comprising both internal and external components, the implant captures sounds using a microphone, processes them, and transmits them to the inner part of the ear implant.
Asfand lives with his parents and a sibling in Mehrub Pur. His father, who earns a modest income of PKR 15,000 per month from his private job, struggles to make ends meet. Given his limited financial resources, he is unable to afford the cost of the surgery that could transform Asfand’s life. With a heavy heart, he expressed his concerns, saying:
“Our lives were shattered when we learned about Asfand’s hearing loss. Without the surgery, I worry about his future. Please lend your support by donating today.”
A kind-hearted friend of Asfand’s parents introduced them to Transparent Hands, and they registered Asfand’s case. We are determined to help Asfand experience the joy of hearing his parents’ voices and the symphony of the world around him. However, we can only achieve this dream with your compassionate contributions. We earnestly urge you to help Asfand embrace the symphony of life by donating towards his cochlear implant surgery. Together, let us improve the quality of his life and bring happiness to his entire family.
Please Note: In certain situations, we proceed with the patient's surgery/medical procedure despite incomplete funding displayed on the website. Following the surgery/medical procedure, we persist in collecting funds and maintain the campaign on the website until funding is secured in full. Hospitals have granted us a grace period for bill payment.
