Faris Needs Open-Heart Surgery to Survive

Muhammad Faris Khan's Story

Muhammad Faris Khan, a 2-year-old boy from Multan, has been struggling to breathe and stay active since birth. His body becomes tired with even mild activities, and he experiences frequent episodes of shortness of breath and chest discomfort. He often feels weak and lethargic. His poor weight gain and symptoms, including fatigue, break his parents’ hearts. 

Worried for his health, Faris’s parents took him to a local hospital for a detailed check-up. After a series of tests, the doctors diagnosed Faris with Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) and Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction (RVOTO). These conditions force his heart to work harder than it should, putting him at serious risk of complications. To correct this, the doctor has advised open-heart surgery for total correction.

Without timely surgery, Faris’s condition may worsen, risking irreversible damage to his heart and lungs and threatening his life. This operation is crucial for him to survive, grow stronger, and experience a normal childhood.

Unfortunately, the cost of this complex surgery is far beyond what Faris’s family can manage. His father works with a transport company, earning around PKR 41,000 per month. Out of this income, the family pays PKR 8,000 for house rent, PKR 2,000 for utility bills, and PKR 5,000 for the educational expenses of Faris’s siblings. With these commitments and the cost of daily living for their family of four, they simply cannot afford the expense of the surgery. Faris’s parents said in despair:

“We can’t bear to see Faris struggle to breathe. We wish to give him a chance to grow and play like other kids of his age. However, we can’t manage the huge cost of surgery. We request you to be kind and save our son’s life.”
