You Supported Sawera Mustafa’s Colostomy Reversal Surgery

Sawera Mustafa 's Story

Sawera Mustafa, a 5-year-old little girl from Gujrat, was suffering from severe abdominal pain. Her persisting health condition led her parents to consult a doctor, where she was diagnosed with fecal peritonitis. Fecal Peritonitis is a condition caused by colonic perforation. It leads to the release of fecal material into the peritoneal cavity. Following the doctor’s recommendation, she underwent an emergency procedure called Laparotomy and colostomy at a public hospital.

Afterwards, she needed colostomy reversal surgery, a procedure to close the colostomy which is performed after 2-3 months of the surgery. She needed support to undergo this procedure as her family was facing financial hardships.  Due to her deteriorating health condition, Sawera struggled to concentrate on her studies and to play with other kids.

Her family’s financial constraints cast a shadow of uncertainty over her full recovery. Sawera’s father is the breadwinner of the family and works as a laborer. Affording the cost of the surgery was overwhelming for him. In their search for help, Sawera’s parents found Transparent Hands and contacted us.

We processed her case and the day of surgery arrived. On 26-03-2024, she was admitted to Lahore Care Hospital, and her surgery was performed by Dr. Sajid. Sawera was happily discharged after one day of hospitalization.

During her hospital stay, she received mandatory monitoring and care from the medical staff.

Sawera’s parents said with gratitude:

“It gives us immense pleasure to see our daughter’s successful recovery. Our happiness cannot be expressed adequately with words. We are extremely grateful to all the donors who contributed to Sawera’s surgery, enabling her to live a healthy life.”

Sawera’s life is filled with new hope and determination. Your donations have made a valuable impact on her life. She is now free from the limitations caused by her deteriorating health condition.

Your contributions have enabled Sawera to spend her life with determination. Moreover, she doesn’t need to struggle to survive each day. We extend our gratitude to all donors for their generosity.
