Help Ijaz Ahmed Walk Again

Ijaz Ahmed's Story

Meet Ijaz Ahmed, a 55-year-old man from Lahore, who recently lost his left leg due to diabetes. He had an infection in the leg due to diabetes, which led the doctors to amputate his left leg below the knee. The amputation left him in extreme despair. He longs to regain the mobility and independence he once had in life. Ijaz consulted with a doctor, who recommended a Below-Knee Prosthesis for his lost limb.

Without a prosthesis, Ijaz has to rely upon his family for even the simplest tasks. Ijaz Ahmed wishes to go back to the time when he used to walk in the garden with his friends. The condition has badly affected his mental health, making him disappointed and isolated. Due to his disability, Ijaz is unable to provide for his family. He lives in a 3-marla brick house with his wife and four children. His wife works in a school canteen and makes PKR 15000 per month. With this meager monthly income, they hardly cover the cost of utility bills amounting to PKR 8000. The family is also dealing with a loan of PKR 30,000, making the needed cost of the surgery unaffordable.

In this time of uncertainty, Ijaz’s family reached out to Transparent Hands and requested financial support.

Ijaz expressed his grief as follows:

“I miss the time when I was able to provide for my children. All I want is to stand on my feet and not be a burden on my family. The loss of my limb means loss of independence. I request all the donors to please support me. The artificial leg will change my life.”

Ijaz Ahmed's Story

For Ijaz Ahmed, a 55-year-old man from Lahore, the world turned upside down when he lost his left leg due to diabetes. This incident filled his life with grief as he lost his job and couldn’t even carry out his routine tasks. Due to amputation, the emotional toll was immense, leaving him feeling isolated and hopeless. He went to a doctor to express his concerns regarding his disability. The doctor recommended a below-knee prosthesis that would enable him to walk again. However, the cost of the prosthetic leg was beyond his reach.

Ijaz lived in a 3-marla brick house with his wife and four children. His wife worked at a school canteen and earned just PKR 15000 per month. Ijaz was unemployed and his children relied upon their mother’s meager monthly income. The family was surviving in extreme poverty and even meeting basic needs was immensely difficult for them. Ijaz desperately needed an artificial leg but the cost associated with it was overwhelming for him. During this time of need, Ijaz contacted Transparent Hands. After knowing about his situation, we registered his case.

On 1st November 2024, Ijaz Ahmed’s below-knee prosthesis was fitted at Hope Rehabilitation Centre in Lahore. His procedure was done under the supervision of Dr. Khalid Niaz, bringing a sense of relief and a wave of joy to Ijaz’s life.

Ijaz said with happiness:

“I can’t believe I can walk with my artificial leg. Now, I can find a job to provide for my family. I am incredibly grateful for your immense support. Your generosity made a huge difference in my life.”

Today, Ijaz is learning to walk and perform various activities with his prosthetic leg. His quality of life has drastically improved. The emotional burden of his disability has been lifted, replaced by a sense of accomplishment and resilience. Ijaz and his family extend their deepest gratitude to you for allowing him to regain his mobility and independence.
