Transform Noor Firdous’s Life With Redo Open-Heart Surgery

Noor Firdous's Story

Noor Firdous, a 5-year-old girl from Kashmore, has been suffering from shortness of breath and chest discomfort since birth. Noor struggles to survive each day of her life and isn’t gaining proper weight. She was diagnosed with Transposition of Great atreries (TGA). On March 18, 2019, her first surgery for Arterial switch and VSD Closure was performed. She went to the doctor for a follow-up. After a thorough examination, the doctor diagnosed Noor with severe Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction (LVOTO), a condition characterized by a thickening of the heart muscle and restriction in blood flow from the left ventricle. The doctor recommended Redo Open-Heart Surgery for LVOTO Resection. However, the cost of the surgery is far beyond her family’s financial capacity.

Noor’s heart disease needs to be treated, otherwise, it can cause severe complications and Noor may lose her life. Since birth, Noor’s life has been filled with hardships and obstacles. Any mild to moderate physical activity gives her extreme fatigue and she strives to breathe normally. She has become socially isolated and avoids playing with her friends.

Noor lives in a modest two-marla brick house with her five family members. Her father is the sole breadwinner of the family and works as a daily wage laborer. He has a meager monthly income of PKR 25000. The family is also burdened with a loan of PKR 100,000. The overwhelming cost of the surgery is out of the reach of the family that’s already struggling to make ends meet. With hopes in their hearts, Noor’s family reached out to Transparent Hands and asked for help. Understanding the critical nature of her situation, we registered her case.

Noor’s parents said with teary eyes:

”Every day is a battle for Noor. We feel helpless as we can’t pay for her heart surgery. All we want is to see her play, live, and grow like other kids. Kindly save our daughter’s life. She needs your support.”

The necessary heart surgery will not only alleviate the extreme challenges posed by her heart condition but also reduce the likelihood of long-term complications.
