Let’s Change Aqsa’s Life with Cholecystectomy
Aqsa Bibi's Story
Aqsa, a 30-year-old woman from Hyderabad, has been suffering from upper abdominal pain, and nausea for the past seven months. She experiences frequent vomiting, persistent heartburn, and burning micturition, which have made her daily life increasingly difficult. Despite her best efforts to manage these symptoms, her condition continued to worsen, and she decided to consult a specialist. After performing a thorough examination, the doctor diagnosed Aqsa with Cholelithiasis (Gallstones). These are hard mineral deposits that form in the gallbladder. Her doctor advised an open cholecystectomy, a surgical procedure to remove her gallbladder. However, the cost of the surgery is beyond her family’s financial ability.
Aqsa’s children depend on her for care, but her worsening condition makes it increasingly challenging for her to fulfill her responsibilities. If Aqsa does not receive timely treatment, her condition may lead to severe complications, including infections and damage to nearby organs. Her health may continue to deteriorate due to poor dietary intake.
While the surgery is crucial for alleviating her pain and preventing future complications, Aqsa cannot afford the cost of the procedure. She has four young children—two are in school, and the other two are still at home. Her husband works as a bus conductor, earning only PKR 20,000 per month. With this meager income, the family struggles to make ends meet. During this time of need, Aqsa contacted Transparent Hands and asked for assistance.
Aqsa shared her heartfelt plea as follows:
“I just want to be able to care for my children and live without constant pain. It’s extremely hard to bear all the symptoms. I just want to be healthy, but my husband can’t afford the surgery. Please help me recover and be there for my family.”
Your generosity can change Aqsa’s life. With your support, she can undergo the much-needed surgery and return to her family healthy and strong.
Together, let’s help Aqsa reclaim her health and provide her with the hope of a healthier future.
