You Enabled Raza to Walk Again

Muhammad Raza's Story

Muhammad Raza, a 16-year-old boy from Lahore, was born without a left leg, making his life a continuous struggle. He couldn’t perform various activities on his own and felt like a burden on others. He had high dreams but pursuing them seemed challenging. When Raza went to a doctor to find a solution to overcome his disability, the doctor advised a left below-knee prosthesis. To acquire independence in life, this prosthesis was necessary but his family was unable to pay for it.

Raza lived in a two-room rented house with his six family members. His father, the sole provider for the family, worked at a factory and earned just PKR 42,500 per month. This income was not sufficient to cover their utility bills, house rent as well as educational expenses. Raza wanted to walk on his own and yearned for the day when he could play with his friends, walk without crutches, and have a life full of opportunities. However, the cost of a below-knee prosthesis was far beyond their means. During this time of need, Raza’s family turned to Transparent Hands. We carefully listened to their concerns and promptly registered Raza’s case.

On 15th November 2024, Raza’s below-knee prosthesis was fitted at the Hope Rehabilitation Centre in Lahore. The procedure was performed under the supervision of Dr. Khalid Niaz. Raza’s level of happiness was inexpressible when he took his first step with an artificial leg.

Muhammad Raza was overjoyed and said:
“I can finally stand on my feet. This is more than just a prosthesis; it’s a new life. For years, I had been hoping for the day when I would be able to walk like a normal person. Today, it happened. Thank you for making this possible.”

Today, Raza is filled with renewed hope. He is learning to perform activities with his artificial leg. His parents are immensely grateful to you for helping them and giving their son the ability to walk without support. Your generosity can never be forgotten.
