Let’s Bring Sounds into Muhammad Saad’s Life

Muhammad Saad's Story

Muhammad Saad, a 3-year-old boy from Muzaffargarh, is unable to hear the sounds around him. Saad is missing out on crucial developmental milestones, including significant delays in developing speech and social skills. Saad can’t communicate even about his basic needs. At his age, when most children start to learn new words and explore the world, Saad is unable to do so. His parents took him to a local hospital and received a consultation from a doctor. After a thorough examination and evaluation, the doctor diagnosed him with congenital sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). To allow him to hear and speak, the doctor advised cochlear implant surgery. Unfortunately, the cost of the surgery is overwhelming for his family.

His parents are worried about the long-term effects of his condition on his growth and happiness. The sooner he receives the cochlear implant, the better his chances of speech and language development which are important at his age. If he doesn’t undergo the surgery on time, he might not be able to develop the ability to hear and speak.

Saad lives in a small brick house with his parents and two school-going siblings. His father, the sole provider for the family, is a police constable and earns PKR 58000 per month. His monthly income barely covers their utility bills, educational fees, groceries, and other expenses. The family is facing financial hardships and affording to pay for this costly surgery is simply impossible for them. Saad’s parents fear he will grow up in silence, unable to experience the sounds in the world around him.  A glimmer of hope arose when a neighbor told them about Transparent Hands. Saad’s family contacted us and asked us to register his case.

They said in a distressed voice:

“Watching him struggle to communicate breaks our hearts. Providing him with the ability to hear and speak would mean the world to us. His surgery is expensive and we don’t have enough money to pay for it. We request you to please give our son the ability to hear.”

Your kindness can change Saad’s life. Consider donating to help cover the cost of his cochlear implant surgery. Your contributions will help Saad enter into a world filled with sounds and joy. Join hands with us to give Saad the gift of hearing and a brighter future.
