Donate for Gul Muhammad’s Total Knee Replacement

Gul Muhammad 's Story

Gul Muhammad has been suffering from severe osteoarthritis for the past few years. The doctor has advised total knee replacement surgery. It is an expensive surgery and his family is unable to afford it. We urge you to donate for Gul Muhammad’s Total Knee Replacement and make his future pain-free.

Gul Muhammad, a 75-year-old resident of Mardan, has been suffering from right knee osteoarthritis for the last five years. Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee occurs when the cartilage in the knee joint breaks down. The knee bones rub together, resulting in friction, pain, stiffness, and swelling. Both his knee pain and swelling have gotten worse over time. His son took him to a local hospital. After running some diagnostic tests and a thorough evaluation, the doctor advised him to undergo bilateral total knee replacement. It is a surgical procedure that involves cutting away damaged bone and cartilage from the kneecap and replacing it with an artificial joint (prosthesis). The doctor performed his first surgery for right total knee replacement in 2021. Recently, he revisited the doctor and was advised to undergo total knee replacement on the left side.. 

He lives in a small house with his wife and two children. His son is responsible for taking care of the family’s financial needs. He earns just PKR 38,000 per month. He is not financially stable enough to afford the surgical expenses. Gul Muhammad expressed his distress in the following words: 

“It is hard to sleep and wake up with a painful and swollen knee each day. I request you to come forward and donate for my surgery to help me get rid of this pain.” 

His son contacted Transparent Hands to register his case. We need your support in the form of donations to make Gul’s total knee replacement surgery possible. Gul and his family will be grateful to you even if you make a small contribution. Come forward and donate for Gul Muhammad’s Total Knee Replacement as much as you can.
