Hammad Awaits Open-Heart Surgery

Hammad Azhar 's Story

Hammad was born with congenital heart defects, struggles to breathe properly, and is unable to gain weight despite his best efforts and brave fight. Every day, he fights for his life as a tiny warrior. He can overcome this obstacle and live the life he deserves—a life full of laughter, joy, and limitless potential. He simply needs one more chance, and heart surgery is that chance. This procedure will save his life and enable him to grow, play, and live without fear. Hammad awaits open-heart surgery, so we urge you to donate and save his little heart to help him lead a healthy life. 

One-year-old Hammad Azhar, a resident of Lower Dir, has been suffering from shortness of breath, cyanosis, fever, and repeated episodes of chest infections. His parents learned about his condition when he was just one week old and took him to the local hospital. After a thorough evaluation and some diagnostic tests, the doctor diagnosed him with multiple heart conditions, including pulmonary valve stenosis (PS), interventricular septum (IVS), hypertrophic LV, and atrial septal defect (ASD). The cardiac surgeon advised him to undergo CP shunt surgery to give him a chance at a healthy life.

He lives with his parents in a small house. His father is the only earner, earning just PKR 20,000 per month. The cost of the surgery has put a strain on his father’s finances. He said in distress:

“I eagerly anticipate the day when he will be able to breathe deeply and comfortably. Your generosity is the only way I can give my son a second chance.

Hammad’s parents reached out to us, and we registered his case. However, Hammad awaits open-heart surgery and needs donations for a quick recovery. His parents have tried everything else and have decided to put their faith in you because they have run out of options. This young boy’s life could be improved with the help of any donation, regardless of how small it is. Help us save Hammad’s life by making a donation to cover the cost of his life-saving surgery.
