Ahmed Awaits Open-Heart Surgery

Muhammad Ahmed's Story

Ahmed has been struggling with a life-threatening heart condition since birth. It makes his heart work harder than normal and affects his health. He can’t breathe properly, eat enough, or play due to fatigue. Ahmed awaits Open-Heart surgery, and it is not possible without your financial support. 

Muhammad Ahmed, a 14-year-old resident of Lahore, has been suffering from shortness of breath, cyanosis since birth, and recurrent episodes of chest pain. He is also unable to gain weight. His parents learned about his condition recently and took him to a local hospital. After the diagnostic tests and evaluation, the doctor diagnosed him with severe aortic stenosis (AS), moderate aortic valve regurgitation (AR), and left ventricular hypertrophy. The cardiac surgeon advised him to undergo Aortic Valve Replacement surgery. It is a surgical procedure to replace a poorly working aortic valve with an artificial valve. 

He lives in a rented house with his parents and three siblings. His father, the sole breadwinner of the family, earns a meager income of PKR 35,000 per month, which is not enough to cover the hefty cost of the cardiac surgery. His heart condition had already caused significant distress to the family. The constant worry and anxiety of not being able to provide their child with the necessary medical attention are taking a toll on his father’s mental health. He desperately seeks help to provide his son with the best possible treatment. He said in a depressed tone:

“My heart aches as I see my son struggle for breath. I am a helpless father, unable to afford the life-saving cardiac surgery he desperately needs. Please come forward and donate today.” 

His case is registered with Transparent Hands, and we have assured his family that we will arrange his open-heart surgery. However, it will not be possible without your help. Your donations can help ease the financial burden on the family and enable them to afford the life-saving cardiac surgery that Ahmed desperately needs.
