Fund Reema Saleem’s Cholecystectomy

Reema Saleem's Story

Reema Saleem, a resilient 32-year-old resident of Karachi, has been enduring excruciating pain in her right upper abdomen for the past year. The agony is accompanied by bouts of nausea and vomiting, particularly after consuming fatty meals. Seeking medical advice, Reema was diagnosed with cholelithiasis—an ailment characterised by the formation of gallstones. The doctor has recommended an urgent laparoscopic cholecystectomy to alleviate her pain and restore her quality of life.

Reema’s struggle is further compounded by her financial circumstances. She is a devoted housewife, and her husband is the sole earner of the family, working as a daily wage laborer. With a monthly income of just PKR 22,000, their resources are stretched thin. They reside in a rented house in Karachi, with a limited space of two marlas, comprising only two rooms. Balancing their financial responsibilities, they also face the burdensome weight of a loan payable amounting to PKR 30,000. Despite their best efforts, Reema’s husband finds it impossible to bear the additional expenses of her necessary surgery.

Reema’s voice trembles as she shares her heartfelt plea:

“The constant pain has taken a toll on my daily life, leaving me unable to fulfill my responsibilities as a wife and mother. However, the financial strain makes it seem impossible to undergo the much-needed surgery. We struggle to meet our basic needs. I appeal to your kindness and generosity to help me regain my health and live a pain-free life.”
