Help Afaq Hear The World
Muhammad Afaq's Story
Step into the extraordinary world of Muhammad Afaq, where silence has been his constant companion due to his hearing loss. The symphony of everyday sounds that most of us take for granted remains a mystery to him. Yet, amidst the challenges, a flicker of hope emerges. A beacon of change lies on the horizon, ready to transform his circumstances. However, an unfortunate obstacle stands in the way: his parents’ financial limitations. The cost of the life-altering cochlear implant surgery, the key to unlocking the gift of hearing, remains out of reach. With a humble contribution of just $10, you can give him the gift of hearing. Your support will not only bring music to his ears but also pave the way for a future teeming with limitless opportunities. Donate today and help Afaq hear the world.
Three-year-old Muhammad Afaq, a resident of Landi Kotal, was born without the ability to hear. His parents noticed this and took him to the hospital for a consultation when he was a year old. After a thorough evaluation and some diagnostic tests, the doctor diagnosed him with sensorineural hearing loss. They have advised him to undergo cochlear implant surgery, which will enable him to hear. With the help of a cochlear implant device, he will be able to hear and discover sounds for the first time. The device has two components that are installed with a gap of two weeks.
A cochlear implant is an expensive surgery. Due to financial constraints, his father is unable to afford the surgical expenses. He said in a depressed tone:
“Every day, I see the sorrow in his eyes, unable to express himself through sound. I yearn to help, but my own financial limitations hinder me. Your generous donation can bring him the precious gift of hearing, opening doors to a world of connection and belonging.”
Afaq’s parents found out about Transparent Hands through word of mouth and contacted us to register his case. We can provide him with the surgery he needs as soon as we receive your financial contribution. Support his cochlear implant surgery and allow him to live his life to the fullest.
