Donate for Shamim’s Cholecystectomy

Shamim Rehan 's Story

Shamim has gallstones, and this condition is causing her a lot of pain and discomfort. The constant pain is making it difficult for her to concentrate on household responsibilities. Her son is not in a stable financial situation and cannot afford the surgical expenses. We request that you come forward to donate for Shamim’s cholecystectomy so she can be pain-free. 

Shamim, a 63-year-old resident of Karachi, has been suffering from episodes of upper abdominal pain for two years. She went to the local clinic for an initial check-up. The doctor prescribed some painkillers to relieve the pain. However, she was not cured and went to another hospital where she underwent some diagnostic tests. Upon evaluation, she was diagnosed with gallstones. Their presence is called cholelithiasis. The doctor advised her to undergo surgery. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a surgery to remove the gallbladder containing stones. Otherwise, they can lead to complications such as bile duct obstruction. This condition may also result in a severe or fatal infection of the bile ducts, pancreas, or liver.

She lives with her husband and six children. She is financially dependent on his son, who earns just PKR 25,000 per month. Her son cannot pay for the surgery with his limited income. Shamim said in a depressed tone:

“I am in desperate need of your financial assistance to alleviate the physical pain and discomfort that I am experiencing. If you could just help me out, it would mean the world to me.”

Her family contacted our team, and now her case is registered with Transparent Hands. We are determined to raise funds for her surgery with your support. You can change this lady’s future with your donation. She has placed her hopes in your hands. We urge you to donate for Shamim’s cholecystectomy and receive countless blessings. Your help will give her a chance at a normal, healthy life.
