Sajid Hussain Can Walk Again

Sajid Hussain's Story

Sajid Hussain, a thirty-nine-year-old man from Kabirwala, Khanewal, had a road accident a few years ago. The accident almost completely crushed his right leg, which had to be amputated to save his life.

The event completely changed Sajid’s life as he lost his ability to walk independently. He couldn’t work anymore. Sajid has two school-going sons. The boys often thought about how quickly their lives changed for the worse. The family lives in a rented house, where they have to pay PKR 3500 as rent and PKR 4000 for utility bills. The family is completely dependent on their relatives’ financial support for survival. There was no way they could afford the artificial prosthetic leg advised by Sajid’s doctor to restore his mobility. 

The situation made Sajid bitter and he often thought about the fateful day he lost his leg. Sajid knew that he could get his life back on track. With the artificial leg, he could get back on his feet and find work to support his family. He knew that his family had supported him all the while, but they could not afford the expenses of his artificial leg. Sajid often expressed his frustration and helplessness to his relatives and neighbors. One of his neighbors, who knew about Transparent Hands, told him about the organization’s work. They reached out to us and registered his case.

His artificial leg was attached at the Hope Rehabilitation Center, Lahore, by Dr. Khalid Niaz on September 25, 2024.

Sajid is very happy with his recovery and said, “The surgery has given me another opportunity to live actively. Now I can manage my routine activities and hopefully, I will soon get a job. I thank Transparent Hands and everyone who helped me all along.”

Sajid no longer has to depend on others and can take care of his family again.
