Help Shamim Welcome Her Fourth Child

Shamim Bibi's Story

Shamim, a 32-year-old resident of Karachi, is eagerly awaiting the arrival of her fourth child. However, her journey to motherhood has been marked by challenges, as she has already undergone three previous cesarean sections. Shamim, a devoted housewife, relies on her husband’s income as the family’s sole breadwinner.

Her husband, a daily wager, brings home a monthly income of PKR 30,000. The family resides in a rented house, and their financial condition is far from stable. With utility bills amounting to PKR 8,000 and school fees of PKR 3,000, the family is barely making ends meet. Shamim’s husband is the sole provider for their family of five, including their three children. The limited resources have left the family feeling anxious and uncertain about the impending delivery.

In a heartfelt plea, Shamim expresses her concerns: “I am filled with a mixture of joy and worry as I approach this new chapter of my life. The thought of welcoming our fourth child brings me immense happiness, but the financial burden weighs heavily on my mind. With my previous C-sections, I know the importance of a safe delivery, yet I fear that the medical expenses may be beyond our means. Your support could make all the difference, not just for me, but for the future of my family.” Shamim’s financial circumstances have left her unable to afford the surgical expenses associated with her scheduled cesarean section.

The family’s limited resources have placed a significant strain on their well-being, leaving them in need of assistance. Your generous contributions can alleviate the financial burden and ensure that Shamim receives the care she needs during this critical time. No amount is too small, and every donation will directly contribute to covering the medical expenses associated with her C-section delivery.

Please Note: In certain situations, we proceed with the patient's surgery/medical procedure despite incomplete funding displayed on the website.

Hospitals have granted us a grace period for bill payment.

Shamim Bibi's Story

Shamim, a 32-year-old woman from Karachi, was expecting her fourth child. She had a history of three C-sections which led her gynecologist to monitor her pregnancy carefully. After several medical checkups and considering her previous medical history, her doctor decided on an elective C-section. It was necessary to avoid potential complications and for the safety of Shamim and her baby. Attempting a natural delivery could have posed significant risks to her baby. However, Shamim was unable to afford the surgery.

Shamim lives in a modest rented house with her husband and three children. Her husband, the sole provider for the family, worked as a daily wage laborer and earned just PKR 30,000 per month. Shamim’s thoughts were consumed with anxiety, knowing that without the surgery, both her and her baby’s life could be in danger. Their financial constraints made it impossible for them to pay for her much-needed c-section surgery. That’s when Shamim decided to contact Transparent hands. Upon learning about her situation, we promptly registered her case. The generosity of our donors enabled us to arrange surgery for Shamim at a reputable hospital on our panel.

The day of hope arrived and Shamim was admitted to Murshid Hospital in Karachi on 4th July 2024. Dr. Samreen Zeeshan performed her C-section surgery on the same day. Her C-section was successful, and Shamim gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Shamim was hospitalized for three days. After receiving post-operative care and essential medications, she was discharged in a stable condition on 6th July 2024.

After holding her newborn in her arms, Shamim’s heart filled with relief and gratitude. She expressed her emotions as follows:

“I am grateful for the support I received during my time of need. You helped me to safely bring my child into this world. Thanks a lot!”

Your contributions made all the difference, turning what could have been a stressful and uncertain time into a joyful experience. She is thankful for your support.
