Faruq Awaits Open-Heart Surgery

Faruq Masih's Story

Faruq Masih, a 40-year-old resident of Lahore, has been grappling with shortness of breath and chest pain for a year. Concerned about his worsening condition, he sought medical assistance, and after a series of diagnostic tests and evaluations, a devastating diagnosis was revealed. Faruq was diagnosed with VSD-DSA (Doubly committed subarterial Ventricular Septal Defect),  Right Coronary Cusp), and a ruptured sinus into RVOT (Right Ventricular Outflow Tract). The gravity of his condition necessitated urgent open-heart surgery for VSD closure and AV valve replacement.

Faruq is working as a security guard, earning a limited monthly income of PKR 20,000. Residing in a rented 3-marla house in Lahore with his wife and two children, Faruq is responsible for providing for his family. However, his income must stretch to cover various expenses, including a house rent of PKR 4,000, bills of PKR 3,000, and other necessary expenditures. The weight of these financial obligations, combined with the burden of his deteriorating health, leaves Faruq in a state of deep distress. The cost of the necessary surgery remains far beyond his means, exacerbating his worries.

Faruq said it in despair:

“I want nothing more than to live without the constant pain caused by my heart condition. As the sole breadwinner for my family, the financial burden is overwhelming. I humbly ask for your help in affording the surgery I urgently need. With your support, I can have a second chance at life and provide a brighter future for my family.”
