Enrich Hatim’s World with Sound

Hatim Alam's Story

In the bustling town of Okara, a ray of hope shines upon Hatim Alam, a delightful three-year-old girl who finds herself trapped in a world of silence. With no siblings to share her laughter and no familiar voices to guide her, Hatim yearns for the precious gift of hearing.

After consulting with medical professionals, Hatim’s parents received a glimmer of hope in the form of a recommendation for a cochlear implant surgery. This revolutionary procedure involves the implantation of a device that can bypass the damaged parts of Hatim’s ears, directly stimulating the auditory nerve and granting her the ability to perceive sound. With this surgery, Hatim will finally be able to revel in the laughter of her parents and experience the world in all its melodic glory.

Hatim’s father works tirelessly to support his family, earning a monthly income of 25,000 PKR. However, the rising costs of living make it increasingly difficult for them to make ends meet. With a utility bill of 6,000 PKR each month and the ever-increasing prices of essential items, their financial situation becomes more challenging. Sadly, these economic hardships prevent them from affording the crucial surgery Hatim needs. Despite his best efforts, the weight of their financial struggles leaves him unable to provide for his daughter’s medical needs.

In a voice tinged with sadness, he shared his heartfelt thoughts:

“Watching Hatim in a world of quiet is devastating. My biggest hope is to provide her with the ability to hear, to dive into life’s rich soundscape, and to deeply connect with those around her.”

Recognizing the urgency and potential for Hatim’s bright future, her case was promptly registered with Transparent Hands, and we are just one step away from gathering the necessary support, which is only possible with your kind contributions.
