Heal Abdul Rehman’s Little Heart
Abdul Rehman's Story
Abdul Rehman, a 1-year-old innocent boy from Mardan, has been suffering from severe breathlessness and chest discomfort since birth. Rehman’s parents received a consultation from a doctor who, after a thorough examination, diagnosed him with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and recommended an open-heart surgery for total correction. TOF is a congenital condition, characterized by four commonly present heart abnormalities.
Rehman is not growing like other children and his skin often turns blue. Any mild to moderate physical activity gives him fatigue and makes him breathless. Rehman’s parents are heartbroken to see him struggling to survive each day of life.
Without the urgent open-heart surgery he desperately needs, Rehman’s condition will continue to worsen, putting him at risk of life-threatening complications. His future hangs in the balance and the condition can ultimately cause death.
His parents wish to see him lead a normal and struggle-free life. Unfortunately, the significant cost of the surgery is beyond the family’s financial reach. Rehman lives in a two-room brick house with his nine family members. His father and uncle are daily wage laborers. Their household monthly income of PKR 60,000 hardly covers the utility bills of PKR 4500, groceries, and other living expenses. Moreover, the family is burdened with a loan of PKR 70,000 that was taken for household expenses.
In this challenging time, Rehman’s parents contacted Transparent Hands and asked for help.
Rehman’s parents described their heartfelt plea as follows:
“Every day is a struggle for Rehman and he battles to live normally. His condition makes him tired and weak. We want him to grow and thrive like other kids. However, due to our financial hardships, we are unable to pay for his life-saving surgery. Kindly help our son with living a healthy life.”
The surgery is a life-saving procedure for Rehman. It will allow him to live a healthy life and engage in physical activities without the limitations imposed by his heart defects.

Abdul Rehman's Story
Abdul Rehman, a 1-year-old boy from Mardan, had been suffering from breathlessness and chest discomfort since birth. Simple activities like crying or feeding left him exhausted, and his pale complexion deeply worried his parents. Rehman's parents consulted a doctor. After a detailed examination, the doctor diagnosed him with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). This condition was marked by four significant heart abnormalities.
The doctor explained that the only way to save Rehman’s life and ensure his normal development was to perform open-heart surgery for total correction. However, the cost of the surgery was beyond what his family could afford.
Rehman lived in a modest two-room brick house with nine family members. His father and uncle, both daily wage laborers, earned a meager income that barely covered the household expenses. Facing extreme financial hardships, Rehman’s parents were heartbroken and desperate to save their child’s life. During their time of need, his family turned to Transparent Hands for help. Touched by his parent's plight, we registered his case and with the generous support of donors, we were able to ensure Rehman received medical care.
On December 16, 2024, Rehman underwent a successful open-heart surgery for total correction at Ittefaq Hospital in Lahore under the expert care of Dr. Asim. The surgery went smoothly, and Rehman’s condition began to improve significantly. He could breathe easily and had more energy than ever before.
Rehman’s parents shared their gratitude as follows:
“You have given our son a new life. We are overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of those who helped us during this difficult time. May you receive blessings for your support and compassion.”
Today, Rehman is recovering, and his parents are filled with hope for his future. They are thankful to you and the Pakistan Children’s Heart Foundation. You gave him a chance to live a healthy, and happy life.
