You Provided Relief to Luqman Through Tonsillectomy

Muhammad Luqman's Story

Muhammad Luqman, a 15-year-old boy from Karachi, had been suffering from recurring episodes of sore throat and fever for the past five years. The persistent discomfort made swallowing and speaking increasingly difficult for him, affecting his daily life. As his condition worsened, he received medical attention at a local hospital. After a thorough evaluation, the doctor diagnosed him with chronic tonsillitis. To provide lasting relief, the doctor recommended a tonsillectomy. However, the cost of the surgery was beyond his family’s financial means.

Luqman lived in a rented house with his parents and five siblings, all of whom were still studying. His father, the sole breadwinner in the family, worked as a daily wage laborer, earning only PKR 25,000 per month. With such a limited income, meeting basic household expenses was already a challenge, leaving no possibility of affording the necessary surgery. As Luqman’s suffering continued, his family desperately searched for help. That’s when they discovered Transparent Hands and reached out for support. After listening to their concerns, we promptly registered Luqman’s case.

On January 13, 2025, Luqman was admitted to Murshid Hospital in Karachi, where Dr. Mubashir successfully performed the tonsillectomy. The procedure effectively removed the infected tonsils, putting an end to his chronic throat pain and recurring infections. After receiving post-operative care, Luqman was discharged in stable condition on January 14, 2025.

Luqaman’s parents expressed their pleasure as follows:

“For years, our son suffered from painful infections that made it hard for him to eat, talk, or even sleep. Today, he feels like a new person. We are forever grateful for the support you provided.”

Now, Luqman is on the path to a healthier and more active life. His family extends their deepest gratitude to you for helping him.
