Shehnaz Needs Cholecystectomy to Overcome Pain

Shehnaz Bibi's Story

Shehnaz, a 40-year-old woman from Karachi, has been experiencing right upper abdominal pain for the past three years. Her illness is accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and indigestion of fatty meals. For Shehnaz, it has become significantly challenging to carry out her daily tasks and care for her children. After consuming medicines for a long time, she decided to consult a specialist, who performed a thorough examination and diagnosed her with Cholelithiasis. These are hard mineral deposits that form in the gallbladder. To relieve her pain and discomfort, her doctor advised cholecystectomy. Unfortunately, Shehnaz’s family is unable to pay for the surgery.

If Shehnaz’s condition is left untreated, her health may keep getting worse because of her poor diet. Additionally, ongoing medications will upset her stomach, preventing her from enjoying healthy meals.

Shehnaz lives in a two-room rented house with her husband and four children, three of whom are currently studying. Her husband, the sole breadwinner in the family, is a daily wage laborer and makes just PKR 37,000 per month. They hardly manage to cover house rent of PKR 10,000, utility bills amounting to PKR 5000 as well as educational expenses of PKR 3000 per month. Furthermore, they are weighed down by a loan of PKR 150,000, which makes affording the necessary surgery impossible. During this time of need, Shehnaz reached out to Transparent Hands and asked for assistance.

Shehnaz shared her emotions as follows:

“I want to live fully again, without the constant pain that has taken over my life. Your support can give me that chance, helping me heal and find joy once more. I request you to please contribute for my surgery.”

Shehnaz is counting on your kindness. Your generosity can provide her with the necessary health care that will enable her to eat without the fear of indigestion, nausea, and vomiting.
