Muhammad Arif Can Walk Again

Muhammad Arif's Story

Muhammad Arif, a 47-year-old resident of Okara, was suffering from a severe infection on his right leg. Upon Consultation, the doctor recommended right above-knee amputation, as a life-saving procedure. After undergoing the amputation, the condition badly affected his daily chores and made him dependent upon his family.

His doctor recommended an above-knee Prosthesis to regain mobility and independence. A prosthesis is an artificial limb that is used in replacement of a missing body part.

After this life-altering incident, his wife became the breadwinner for the entire family. She was earning a meager monthly income of PKR 17,000 only. After struggling for a while, Arif’s family reached out to Transparent Hands for financial assistance. To restore Arif’s mobility and improve the quality of his life, we registered his case.

With your contributions, Arif’s right leg was fitted with an above-knee prosthesis by Dr. Khalid at Hope Rehabilitation Centre on 29-05-2024. Arif was discharged on the same day, with new hope and determination. His heart filled with joy to see himself taking the first steps toward regaining his mobility.

Arif said with gratitude:
“I couldn’t bear and afford to remain dependent on other people. Now, I have embarked on the journey towards regaining independence. I am thankful for all the support from Transparent Hands and the generous donors.”

The artificial leg has renewed his life. We couldn’t have achieved this milestone without our donors’ support. The above-knee Prosthesis has boosted the confidence of Muhammad Arif and renewed his strength to face the challenges of life. The financial assistance from the donors has alleviated the overwhelming burden faced by his family. It helped Arif to receive the life-changing treatment he desperately needed.
