Help Azra Bibi Regain Mobility
Azra Bibi's Story
Azra Bibi, a 73-year-old resident of Lahore, finds herself in a state of helplessness after losing her left leg in a tragic road accident. The doctor recommended a below-knee prosthesis to regain her mobility and independence.
Azra lives in a joint family with her husband and ten children in a small house in Lahore. Due to old age, her husband cannot do any work. She is financially dependent on her two sons, who work as drivers, earning a monthly income of PKR 50,000. This income struggles to meet the family’s basic needs, utility bills of 4,000 PKR, and 3,000 PKR for education. During these financial challenges, they cannot afford an artificial leg for Azra, making her feel confined and reliant on others. Acquiring an artificial leg for Azra is crucial for her independence and contributing to her family’s well-being.
Azra said it with teary eyes:
“As a mother, your generosity is a beacon of hope for me. With your support, I can get the prosthesis I need to care for my children and family, overcoming this hurdle for a hopeful future.”

Azra Bibi's Story
Azra Bibi, a 73-year-old resident of Lahore, faced a significant challenge in her life. Azra had a tragic road accident. Her family took her to the nearby hospital. Upon examination, the doctor found out that her left leg had been crushed and decided to amputate her left leg below the knee. After that, Azra’s life was occupied with hardships and dependency. Azra has lived a long life filled with cherished moments and memories. After losing her left leg, Azra’s life was overshadowed by limitations and she was afraid to spend her remaining years without full independence. She consulted a doctor about her condition who recommended a below-knee prosthesis to help her regain her mobility. However, the significant cost of the prosthesis was beyond her financial capacity.
Azra lives in a modest house with her ten children. Her two sons are drivers and their insufficient monthly income hardly covers their household bills, educational, and living expenses. Azra’s family's financial situation was already stretched thin and affording the costly prosthesis was impossible for them. With hope in her heart, Azra contacted Transparent Hands and asked for help. We listened to her concerns and immediately stepped in to help her.
On 5th July 2024, Azra’s left below-knee prosthesis was fitted at Hope Rehabilitation Centre. Dr. Khalid Niaz critically supervised her case and the procedure was completed successfully.
Azra Bibi shared, her voice filled with emotion:
“I was hopeless due to my condition but you gave me the support when I needed it the most. Now I can spend my remaining years without relying on others. Your generosity has changed my life.”
With a comfortable and functional prosthesis, Azra can perform daily tasks without pain, leading to higher satisfaction and a sense of autonomy. Not only will it help her in physical mobility but also positively impact her mental health by reducing feelings of helplessness and enhancing her self-esteem.
We want to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who supported Azra during this difficult time. Your generosity has made a life-changing difference, allowing Azra to regain her mobility and independence.
