Help Farzana Undergo Tonsillectomy

Farzana Bibi's Story

Farzana, a 29-year-old resident of Karachi, has been enduring the pain and discomfort of a recurring sore throat and fever for the past four years. This chronic condition has significantly impacted her quality of life, making even the simplest tasks a challenge.

Recently, Farzana visited a local hospital, where the attending doctor examined her and recommended a tonsillectomy, a surgical procedure to remove her tonsils. This intervention is expected to alleviate her persistent symptoms and restore her overall health.

Farzana lives in a rented house in Karachi with her three children and a husband. Farzana’s family situation, however, presents a significant obstacle to accessing the necessary medical care. As a housewife, her sole source of income is her husband, who works as a daily wager. Their monthly earnings of 15,000 rupees are barely sufficient to cover their basic expenses, including a monthly rent of 4,000 rupees, utility bills amounting to 3,000 rupees, and school fees of 1,000 rupees for their three children.

In this dire situation, Farzana and her family are unable to afford the cost of the recommended tonsillectomy. The financial burden weighs heavily on them, leaving Farzana in discomfort and pain.

Farzana said it in a depressed tone:

“My husband’s income is not enough to cover the cost of the tonsillectomy surgery I urgently need. I humbly appeal to your generosity to help me regain my health to take care of my family in a better way.”

In this hour of need, Farzana’s husband reached out to Transparent Hands, and we registered her case. With your generous support, we can help Farzana and her family overcome this challenge.

Farzana Bibi's Story

Farzana, a 29-year-old resident of Karachi, has been suffering from occasional bouts of sore throat and fever for four years. Despite receiving symptomatic treatment, her condition worsened over time. Simple activities like swallowing, speaking, or even sleeping became challenging for her. After years of suffering, Farzana consulted a doctor, who conducted some diagnostic tests and an ultrasound scan. Farzana was diagnosed with chronic tonsillitis—a condition where the tonsils become inflamed and infected repeatedly, leading to ongoing pain and discomfort. The doctor recommended Tonsillectomy - the surgical removal of tonsils. However, the cost of the surgery was beyond her family’s financial means.

Farzana is a housewife and lives in a two-room rented house with her husband and three children. Her husband, a daily wage laborer, is the sole breadwinner in the family and makes just PKR 15000 per month. With this meager monthly income, affording necessities was already a struggle. However, Farzana desperately needed the surgery as she was unable to take proper care of her children.

In this moment of despair, Farzana learned about Transparent Hands and contacted us for help. We listened to her concerns and immediately stepped in to help her. The generous support of our donors enabled Farzana to receive Tonsillectomy.

The day of hope arrived. On June 28, 2024, Farzana was admitted to Murshid Hospital, Karachi. Dr. Paras Naseem performed the life-changing tonsillectomy the same day. Farzana received careful observation in the hospital and was discharged the next day on June 29, 2024.

The surgery was a success, bringing an end to Farzana’s years of suffering. Farzana expressed her emotions as follows:

"I never thought I could ever get relief from tonsillitis. But thanks to the generous donors, I’m feeling healthy now. The pain has subsided, and I can finally breathe. Your kindness has changed my life. I can’t thank you enough!”

With a successful tonsillectomy, Farzana can now swallow without pain, speak without difficulty, and sleep peacefully through the night. This is all made possible through your support. Your contribution gave her a renewed sense of energy and hope.

We are thankful for your generosity. You have not only restored Farzana’s health but also gave her a chance to live a life free from the constant burden of illness.
