Save Fatima’s Life with Heart Surgery

Fatima Sarfaraz's Story

Fatima Sarfraz, a 1-year-old girl from Lahore, has been struggling with severe breathlessness and cyanosis since birth. Her parents noticed these troubling symptoms and decided to take her to the doctor. After a series of tests and examinations, Fatima’s doctor diagnosed her with TGA (Transposition of the Great Arteries), IVS (Interventricular Septum), and a regressed left ventricle. These are serious congenital heart conditions that disrupt normal blood flow, causing oxygen-poor blood to circulate throughout the body. Her doctor has recommended an open heart surgery for Senning procedure to save her life. However, the surgery is costly, and her family is unable to afford the medical expenses.

Without surgery, Fatima’s condition will continue to deteriorate. Her ability to breathe normally will remain compromised, affecting her overall health and development. If left untreated, the complications from her heart condition may lead to irreversible damage or even become life-threatening.

Fatima lives with her parents and three older siblings in a rented house. Her father works as a school teacher and is the sole breadwinner of the family, earning a modest monthly income of PKR 40,000. The family faces numerous financial challenges, as they must pay PKR 15,000 in house rent, PKR 4000 in utility bills, and PKR 7000 in educational expenses for their older children. Despite their best efforts, the cost of Fatima’s surgery is simply beyond their means. During this difficult time, Fatima’s parents have turned to Transparent Hands for help.

Fatima’s parents said in despair:

“We can’t bear to see our little girl struggle every day. Her breathlessness and constant pain have made it hard for her to play or even breathe normally.  Every day, we watch her suffer, and it breaks our hearts. Please help us.”
