Miraal Bibi's Story

Miraal Bibi is a bright 2-year-old girl from Lahore, who has been living in a silent world since birth. Miraal is unable to hear her parents’ and siblings’ voices, which other children take for granted. She can’t respond to her name and listen to the sounds of toys. Her parents consulted a doctor about her inability to hear, who conducted some medical tests and diagnosed Miraal with congenital sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). The doctor recommended cochlear implant surgery, a life-changing procedure that would enable her ability to hear. However, Miraal’s family is unable to afford the costly surgery.

For Miraal, communication is a daily struggle. The earlier Miraal receives the cochlear implant, the better her chances of developing speech at her age. If she does not get the surgery soon, her ability to communicate like other children may diminish. This may severely impact her education, social development, and future opportunities.

Miraal lives in a three-room rented house with her nine family members. Her father and uncle are employed but their insufficient monthly income covers their basic needs only. Unfortunately, the cost of the cochlear implant surgery is far beyond Miraal’s family’s financial reach. In this time of need, her family turned to Transparent Hands and asked us for help.

Her parents said with teary eyes:

“We want Miraal to have every opportunity to live a full and normal life, to go to school, make friends, and chase her dreams. But without the ability to hear, her future will be limited. We request you to please help our daughter in undergoing the surgery.”

The cochlear implant surgery is necessary and will allow her to hear, speak, and engage with the world around her in ways she never had before. We ask for your contribution to help Miraal hear the sounds around her. Your support can make a life-changing difference for this little girl, giving her the gift of sound and a future full of possibilities.

Please donate today and help Miraal step into a world filled with sound, laughter, and endless opportunities.
