Donate for Abeera’s Cochlear Implant 

Abeera Fatima's Story

Every time a hearing-impaired child visits us for registration, the entire team gets emotional. To see the kids brimming with potential and still unable to communicate their thoughts brings tears to our eyes. But, all is not lost. You can help Abeera unlock the world of sound. Please donate for Abeera’s Cochlear Implant surgery as much as you can without any delay.

Abeera Fatima, a four-year-old resident of Sahiwal, has been suffering from sensorineural hearing loss since birth. At first, her parents were not aware of her condition. Later, when she could not respond to their verbal cues and loud noises, her parents took her to a hospital. The doctor advised Abeera to get a hearing device, but her parents could not afford it. Now, as a permanent solution, the doctor has advised Abeera to undergo a Cochlear Implant surgery. It is a surgically implanted neuroprosthetic device that will give Abeera a modified sense of sound.

Unfortunately, Abeera’s parents cannot afford the hefty cost of a Cochlear Implant surgery. Abeera’s father is a government employee. Despite long hours and hard work, he hardly manages to earn PKR 35,000 per month. This income is barely enough to keep the household running. Therefore, he is in no position to save up for his daughter’s surgery. Abeera’s father told us:

“It breaks my heart when I see my daughter always looking for cues, gestures, and hand movements. I want her to live like all the other children who don’t have to deal with this challenge. I want her to succeed and go to school.”

As a last resort, Abeera’s parents have registered her case with Transparent Hands. We are determined to help her in every way we can. But, it won’t be possible without your help. Therefore, we request you to please donate for Abeera’s Cochlear Implant as much as you can. Your donations, however small or big, will go a long way.
