Help Fiyaz Khan Undergo Tonsillectomy

Fiyaz Khan's Story

Meet Fiyaz Khan, an 11-year-old boy from Karachi, Sindh, who has been suffering from recurring episodes of sore throat and fever for three years. The condition is causing severe difficulty in swallowing and breathing, affecting his daily activities. He received symptomatic treatment but couldn’t find relief. His condition became worse, leading his parents to seek medical consultation from an ENT doctor. After a thorough examination, the doctor diagnosed him with Chronic Tonsillitis. It is a recurrent inflammation and swelling of the tonsils. The doctor recommended Tonsillectomy, a surgical procedure to remove the tonsils.

Fiyaz’s daily life has been significantly impacted by tonsillitis, limiting his ability to concentrate on his studies. Fiyaz Khan is a student in the 7th class and his studies are badly affected due to the persisting infection and breathing issues. He looks frail and can’t actively play with other kids. His parents wish to see him healthy and strong but the cost of the surgery is beyond their financial means. He lives in a one-room rented brick house along with five family members. Fiyaz’s father, a daily wage laborer, makes PKR 28,000 monthly. With this meager monthly income, they hardly cover the house rent, which amounts to PKR 5000, and monthly utility bills of PKR 3000. Moreover, the family is burdened with a loan of PKR 80,000, worsening the financial situation.

In this time of need, Transparent Hands stepped in to register his case and support him in undergoing the surgery.

Fiyaz’s father expressed his plea as follows:

“I can’t bear to see my son struggling every day. The continuous pain and discomfort have led him to anxiety and stress. I feel helpless as I can’t afford the cost of his much-needed surgery. I request you to kindly support us and donate as much as you can.”

Transparent Hands aims to help Fiyaz in this time of difficulty. Fiyaz desperately needs this surgery but the financial constraints are blocking his path toward recovery.

Fiyaz Khan's Story

Fiyaz Khan, an 11-year-old boy from Karachi, had been battling a sore throat and recurrent fevers for three years. Activities like breathing, speaking, and swallowing became significantly challenging. Concerned about his condition, his parents took him to a nearby hospital and consulted a doctor. After performing a comprehensive examination, the doctor diagnosed him with chronic tonsillitis, a condition that significantly affected his quality of life. His doctor advised a tonsillectomy to resolve the issue, but the cost of the procedure was too high for his father.

Fiyaz lived in a rented brick house with his five family members. Fiyaz's father, the sole provider for the family, worked as a daily wage laborer and earned just PKR 28,000 monthly. This income was insufficient to cover their household expenses, including utility bills, house rent as well as grocery expenses. His health concerns began affecting his studies, as he frequently missed school due to his illness. The surgical cost was overwhelming and his family wasn’t able to pay for the surgery. Understanding the family’s struggles and the boy’s need for treatment, we quickly registered him for surgery.

On 8th November 2024, Fiyaz was admitted to the Murshid Hospital in Karachi. His tonsillectomy was performed by Dr. Paras Naeem. The medical staff ensured that the procedure was completed without complications. After receiving post-operative care, Fiyaz was discharged in stable condition on 9th November 2024.

Fiyaz’s father shared his heartfelt gratitude as follows:

“Seeing my son healthy and happy again is the greatest gift we could ask for. Thank you for helping us in our time of need. Your support has brought so much joy to our family.”

With your help, Fiyaz is now free from the pain and discomfort that had affected his life for a long time. He can now focus on his studies and enjoy his childhood without the burden of illness. Your generosity has not only healed a young boy but also given him the chance to pursue his dreams with new hope and energy.
