Ali Raza Awaits Mastectomy
Ali Raza's Story
Ali Raza, a 32-year-old man from Narowal, is experiencing progressive enlargement and pain in his left breast tissue, leading to discomfort and social anxiety. After struggling for a while, he finally decided to seek help from a doctor. After running some lab tests and an ultrasound scan, the doctor diagnosed him with Gynecomastia, a condition characterized by the abnormal enlargement of breast tissue in men, and recommended left-sided mastectomy. However, the surgical cost is beyond his financial capacity.
Ali faces a psychological and emotional toll due to his condition. He avoids social interactions, leaving him feeling isolated. The surgery is necessary to remove the excess tissue and restore his masculine chest contour. If his condition is left untreated, it may continue to worsen, potentially leading to extreme physical discomfort, pain, and emotional distress.
Ali lives in a small rented house with his wife and two school-going children. He is the sole breadwinner in the family, works as a daily wage laborer, and brings in just PKR 30,000 per month. They are struggling to make ends meet and covering the house rent of PKR 4000, mounting utility bills, and educational expenses of PKR 5000 is significantly challenging for them. Moreover, they are burdened by a loan of PKR 150,000. Their financial situation is stretched thin and the cost of the surgery seems unattainable. During this challenging time, Ali turned to Transparent Hands and asked us for assistance.
Ali Raza said in despair:
“I feel like I’m living in a body that isn’t mine. It’s hard to go out. I just want to feel comfortable in my own skin. The cost of the surgery is overwhelming and I can’t pay for it. Please help me during this time of need.”
After the procedure, he dreams of a life free from anxiety and discomfort.

Ali Raza's Story
Ali Raza, a 32-year-old resident of Narowal, was experiencing discomfort and pain in his left breast tissue. It made it increasingly difficult for him to carry out daily activities without embarrassment or discomfort. The condition also affected his self-esteem, causing social anxiety and a constant fear of judgment from others. Eventually, Ali decided to consult a doctor. After conducting lab investigations and an ultrasound scan, the doctor diagnosed him with Gynecomastia. To relieve his pain and restore his physical and emotional well-being, the doctor recommended a left-sided mastectomy. However, the cost of the surgery was beyond his reach.
Ali lived in a small rented house with his wife and two young children, both of whom attend school. As the only earning member of the family, he worked as a daily wage laborer and earned just PKR 30,000 per month. This modest income barely covered their basic living expenses, leaving nothing for this treatment. The financial hardships, coupled with his deteriorating condition, left Ali feeling trapped and helpless. Ali reached out to Transparent Hands. After reviewing his case, we promptly registered his case and assured him that he would receive the help.
On January 14, 2025, Ali was admitted to Evercare Hospital, Lahore. Dr. Ahmed Fawad successfully performed the left-sided mastectomy. He received proper post-operative care and was discharged in stable condition on January 16, 2025.
Ali shared his heartfelt gratitude as follows: “I had given up hope, but this surgery changed everything. I can move without pain, and feel free and confident again. The happiness I feel is overwhelming and it’s all thanks to your generosity. You’ve given me a life I never thought possible.”
With your support, Ali is now recovering—both physically and emotionally. His family joins him in thanking you for giving him a new chance at life with dignity and confidence.
