Support Rania’s Cochlear Implant Surgery

Rania Abdul Rehman's Story

Rania, a 1-year-old girl from Lahore, is facing a challenging moment in her life. Rania has a smile that can light up any room, but she can’t hear. After noticing her inability to hear, her parents took her to a local hospital. The doctor performed some medical tests and diagnosed Rania with congenital sensorineural hearing loss. To open the door to the world of sounds for her, the doctor advised cochlear implant surgery. Unfortunately, the cost of the surgery is overwhelming for Rania’s parents.

If she doesn’t undergo the surgery on time, she might not be able to develop the ability to hear and speak. The sooner Rania receives the cochlear implant, the better her chances of speech and language development, which are important at her age.

Rania lives in a small house with her parents and three siblings. Her father is a police officer and earns PKR 60,000 per month. He is the only breadwinner in the family and it is challenging for him to manage educational fees of PKR 6000, in addition to the grocery expenses, utility bills, and other household expenses. Rania’s much-needed surgery is expensive, making her parents worry day and night. They wish to give her a future where she can have the same opportunities that other kids of her age can avail. With hope in their hearts, Rania’s parents reached out to Transparent Hands and asked for help.

Rania’s parents said in grief:

“Every day without the ability to hear is a challenge for our child. This surgery is simply too expensive for us. It breaks our hearts to think about the opportunities she might miss out on.  We are asking for your help in giving our daughter the chance to hear and communicate. We want her to experience the world fully. Please support her surgery.”

The cochlear implant surgery represents hope for Rania and her family. It will open doors for her to engage with her surroundings, make friends, and thrive in her early childhood education.
