Let’s Heal Muhammad Touseef’s Heart

Muhammad Touseef's Story

Meet Muhammad Touseef, a 12-year-old boy from Sahiwal, who has been suffering from breathlessness, and chest discomfort since birth. Touseef is not gaining proper weight and his skin and lips often turn blue while playing or running. Concerned about his condition, his parents consulted a doctor.

After a comprehensive examination and evaluation, the doctor diagnosed him with Tetralogy of Fallot-Absent Pulmonary Valve Syndrome (TOF-APVS) – which includes four heart defects and the absence of a pulmonary valve, leading to severe pulmonary regurgitation. To treat these defects, the doctor advised angiography and open-heart surgery for Rastelli. However, Touseef’s family can’t afford the surgery.

Touseef is facing a delay in his developmental milestones. His parents yearn to see him growing and enjoying his childhood like other children. Without surgery for TOF-APVS, Touseef may face severe outcomes such as hypoxemia, heart failure, or even respiratory failure, leading to potentially life-threatening conditions.

Touseef lives in his uncle’s house with his parents and siblings. He has three siblings – one is studying and the other two are younger. Touseef’s father, the sole provider for the family, brings in PKR 40,000 per month. It’s hard for him to manage the utility bills, groceries, and other living expenses. Due to their financial constraints, Touseef’s family is unable to pay for the surgery. After struggling for a while, Touseef’s family found Transparent Hands and asked us for assistance.

Touseef’s parents said in despair:

“Touseef’s future will remain uncertain if he doesn’t get the necessary treatment. His life is at risk. We feel helpless as we don’t have enough means to support him. We ask for your help. Please save our son’s life.”

Touseef anxiously awaits open-heart surgery as it will allow him to live, play, and grow like other kids of his age. We are determined to help him, therefore we need your contributions.

We encourage you to come forward and give him hope that he will get the surgery without waiting too long. Your donations will change his life. Open your hearts and give for Touseef’s surgery.
