Help Saad Hear the World

Muhammad Saad's Story

Muhammad Saad, a 4-year-old boy from Jhelum, has been experiencing hearing loss since birth. However, it wasn’t until he turned two years old that his parents became aware of his condition. Concerned about their son’s well-being, they promptly took him to the nearest hospital, where the doctors recommended cochlear implant surgery as the best course of action. A cochlear implant is a small electronic device that stimulates the cochlear nerve, enabling individuals with hearing loss to perceive sound. The surgery involves both internal and external components, with the external part capturing sounds through a microphone, processing them, and transmitting them to the inner part of the implant.

Muhammad Saad resides in a modest two-room house in a village near Jhelum, along with his parents and five siblings. His father works as a teacher and earns a monthly income of PKR 40,000. As the sole breadwinner of the family, his father faces financial constraints and finds it challenging to meet the surgical expenses. In addition to providing for his family’s daily needs, he is also responsible for utility bills amounting to PKR 6,000 and school fees totaling PKR 5,000.

His father said with teary eyes:

The thought of affording cochlear implant surgery for Saad is scary. Without your help, I fear for my child’s future, and it is heartbreaking to think that he may never hear my voice or respond to his name. Please, help us give Saad the gift of hearing.”

The family’s financial crisis has left them unable to afford the necessary surgical procedure that would greatly improve Muhammad Saad’s quality of life. They have reached out to Transparent Hands, hoping for assistance in realizing their son’s dream of hearing and communicating with the world around him.
