Join Us in Changing Nida’s Life with Herniotomy

Nida Bibi's Story

Nida, a 10-year-old girl from Hub Chowki, Balochistan, has been struggling with a painful lump in her right groin. The lump has been growing in size, making it increasingly difficult for her to enjoy her childhood and participate in activities she loves. Her parents noticed her discomfort and took her to a local hospital, where a doctor examined her and conducted lab tests and an ultrasound scan. Nida was diagnosed with a right inguinal hernia – a condition in which a portion of the intestine protrudes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles. To alleviate her pain and prevent further complications, the doctor advised herniotomy. However, the cost of the surgery is beyond her family’s means.

If Nida does not get the surgery, her condition may worsen significantly. The hernia may block the intestine, or be strangulated – cutting off the blood supply to the affected tissue. Both of these complications are medical emergencies that will result in severe pain, tissue death, and even life-threatening outcomes.

Nida lives in a small rented house with her parents and two school-going siblings. Her father works as a daily wage laborer, earning just enough to cover basic expenses. His monthly income of PKR 15,000 is barely sufficient to provide food and pay for the house rent (PKR 5000), utility bills amounting to PKR 2000, and educational expenses of PKR 1000 per month. With no savings or additional resources, arranging money for Nida’s surgery is impossible for them. During this challenging time, Nida’s family reached out to Transparent Hands and asked for help. Nida’s parents expressed their heartfelt emotions as follows:

“We are heartbroken to see our daughter in pain every day. She cannot run or play like other children of her age. We are praying for a miracle that will allow us to afford her surgery and relieve her suffering. Please help us give Nida the chance to live a normal, and pain-free life.”
