Let’s Heal Romaisa Hassan’s Little Heart

Romaisa Hassan's Story

Romaisa Hassan, a 1-year-old girl from Dera Ghazi Khan, has been experiencing shortness of breath and chest discomfort since birth. She is also unable to gain a healthy weight. She is experiencing delays in her physical milestones due to reduced energy levels and increased fatigue during activities. Concerned about her condition, Romaisa’s parents consulted a doctor. After running some diagnostic tests, the doctor diagnosed her with Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) and Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction (RVOTO). Ventricular Septal Defect is an abnormal opening in the wall dividing the heart’s lower chambers.

The doctor recommended open-heart surgery for total correction – the best solution to treat her deteriorating health condition. However, her family cannot afford to pay for her costly heart surgery. Romaisa faces struggles each day of her life. Her parents are heartbroken to see Romaisa in this condition and her future is at stake. She may face difficulty in pursuing her studies. Moreover, if her heart issue persists, the condition may potentially cause death.

She lives in a two-room brick house with her five family members. Her family’s monthly income is just PKR 30,000. Her father is a student and her grandfather is the only member of the family who earns a living as a daily wager. With this meager monthly income, managing the utility bills, groceries, and daily living expenses is challenging for them. The cost of this essential cardiac surgery is simply beyond their financial means.

In this time of difficulty, her family reached out to Transparent Hands to register her case.

Romaisa’s parents said with grief:

“Romaisa is an innocent child and we are heartbroken when we see her struggle. We want to give her a bright future where she can thrive and grow like other children, but our financial constraints stop us from doing so. We humbly request all donors to contribute without delay.”

The open-heart surgery will effectively heal her little heart. By contributing, you can improve her quality of life and overall health, providing her with a more active lifestyle.
