Donate for Shehryar’s Cochlear Implant Surgery

Shehryar Ahmed 's Story

Shehryar is a sweet child whose life will be changed by cochlear implant surgery. Without the surgery, he would be unable to learn and communicate well and he will be robbed of all the benefits of hearing the world around him. His loved ones have been saddened by his silence. We implore you to donate for Shehryar’s cochlear implant surgery so that he can function normally in life.

Five-year-old Shehryar, a resident of Swat, Shehryar has congenital sensorineural hearing loss. When he was one year old, his parents recognized something was wrong since he wasn’t reacting to their voices. His parents drove him to the nearest hospital, where he underwent testing. He was diagnosed with sensorineural deafness after a consultation. He was advised by the doctor to have cochlear implant surgery. A cochlear implant is a tiny electronic device that stimulates the cochlear nerve (the nerve that allows you to hear). The implant contains both exterior and internal components. The exterior portion is attached behind the ear. It processes the sounds using a microphone before sending them to the implant in the ear.

He lives in a small house with seven family members. His grandfather is the only earning hand. He works in the fields and earns only PKR 40,000 per month. Unfortunately, he cannot afford the surgical expenses and is in desperate need of help.. His grandfather said in distress:

“The fact that I was unable to put up enough money for his cochlear implant operation is my biggest worry for him. Please consider making a donation right now.”

Someone told his parents about Transparent Hands and the causes we champion, and they reached out to us for help.  Now, all that is required of you is a small donation so that we can provide him with a cochlear implant. We request that you donate for Shehryar’s cochlear implant surgery and allow him to live his life to the fullest.
