Let’s Help Hikmat Overcome Anorectal Malformation
Hikmat Naveed's Story
Hikmat Naveed, a six-year-old girl from Lahore, has been battling with a painful and challenging condition since birth. She was born with an absent anus that prevented her from passing stool normally. Hikmat faced immense discomfort as meconium was expelled through her vaginal opening. When she was just five days old, doctors performed a colostomy to create an alternative way for her to pass stool. Despite her young age, she has undergone multiple diagnostic tests including a cystoscopy in May 2022 at a government hospital. Hikmat was diagnosed with Anorectal Malformation. To help her live a normal life, doctors have recommended a crucial surgical procedure—PSARVUP (Posterior Sagittal Anorecto-vaginourethralplasty). However, her family is unable to afford the cost of this much-needed surgery.
If Hikmat does not undergo this surgery, her condition will continue to deteriorate. She may face severe infections, persistent pain, and difficulty in leading a normal life. The risk of complications such as urinary tract infections, bowel dysfunction, and damage to surrounding organs will increase.
Hikmat lives with her family in a small home, where financial struggles are a daily reality. Her parents long to see their daughter live a healthy and happy life, but they are unable to pay for the surgery due to ongoing financial hardships. Hikmat’s father works as a daily wage laborer and her mother is a seamstress, collectively earning PKR 30,000 per month. They also have a loan of PKR 200,000, which makes it even more challenging for them to afford the surgery. During this time of need, Hikmat’s parents contacted Transparent Hands and asked for help.
Hikmat’s parents said in despair:
“We just want our daughter to live without this condition. Every parent wishes to see their child happy and healthy, but our little girl has suffered since the day she was born. Please help her in undergoing the surgery.”
Your generosity can change Hikmat’s life forever. With your support, she can undergo the much-needed surgery and finally experience the childhood she deserves. Together, we can bring hope and healing to this innocent little girl.
Let’s stand by her side and help her have a healthy life.
