Fund Raheela’s Life-Saving Surgery

Raheela Akbar's Story

Raheela Akbar, a 43-year-old resident of Rawalpindi, has been enduring ongoing chest pain for far too long. Each attack leaves her gasping for breath, grabbing her chest in pain. As a devoted housewife and mother of three children, Raheela’s life revolves around taking care of her family. However, her constant battle with debilitating chest pain has turned her life into a never-ending struggle. The pain has robbed her of the ability to enjoy even the simple joys of life, leaving her desperate for a solution.

After suffering from endless episodes of chest pain and a heart attack, she was taken to a local hospital. The cardiologist diagnosed her with triple-vessel coronary artery disease (TVCAD). This severe condition occurs when multiple major arteries supplying blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked, significantly reducing blood flow and increasing the risk of heart attacks. Raheela’s diagnosis painted a grim picture of her health, requiring urgent intervention to save her life.

The cardiac surgeon advised her to undergo open heart surgery, which is coronary aartery bypass grafting (CABG), a complex surgical procedure that bypasses the blocked arteries to restore proper blood flow to the heart. This surgery is crucial to prevent further heart attacks and improve Raheela’s quality of life. However, the financial burden associated with the procedure poses a significant obstacle. With her husband as the sole earner, struggling to make ends meet on a monthly income of just 35,000 PKR, the cost of the surgery seems impossible.

In a heartfelt appeal, Raheela humbly requests in the following words:

“I need your support and generosity to fund my life-saving surgery. I dream of a future where I can fulfill all my roles as a mother and wife without the constant fear of chest pain haunting me at every step. “

In this critical time, she registered her case with Transparent Hands, and we are determined to raise funds for her surgery. Your contribution, no matter how small, will make a big difference in her life, giving her a chance to regain her health and reclaim her role as the pillar of her family. Together, we can alleviate the financial burden on this courageous woman and offer her a new life filled with hope, love, and good health.
