Muhammad Touseef's Story

Meet Muhammad Touseef, a 12-year-old boy from Sahiwal, who has been suffering from breathlessness, and chest discomfort since birth. Touseef is not gaining proper weight and his skin and lips often turn blue while playing or running. Concerned about his condition, his parents consulted a doctor.

After a comprehensive examination and evaluation, the doctor diagnosed him with Tetralogy of Fallot-Absent Pulmonary Valve Syndrome (TOF-APVS) – which includes four heart defects and the absence of a pulmonary valve, leading to severe pulmonary regurgitation. To treat these defects, the doctor advised angiography and open-heart surgery for Rastelli. However, Touseef’s family can’t afford the surgery.

Touseef is facing a delay in his developmental milestones. His parents yearn to see him growing and enjoying his childhood like other children. Without surgery for TOF-APVS, Touseef may face severe outcomes such as hypoxemia, heart failure, or even respiratory failure, leading to potentially life-threatening conditions.

Touseef lives in his uncle’s house with his parents and siblings. He has three siblings – one is studying and the other two are younger. Touseef’s father, the sole provider for the family, brings in PKR 40,000 per month. It’s hard for him to manage the utility bills, groceries, and other living expenses. Due to their financial constraints, Touseef’s family is unable to pay for the surgery. After struggling for a while, Touseef’s family found Transparent Hands and asked us for assistance.

Touseef’s parents said in despair:

“Touseef’s future will remain uncertain if he doesn’t get the necessary treatment. His life is at risk. We feel helpless as we don’t have enough means to support him. We ask for your help. Please save our son’s life.”

Touseef anxiously awaits open-heart surgery as it will allow him to live, play, and grow like other kids of his age. We are determined to help him, therefore we need your contributions.

We encourage you to come forward and give him hope that he will get the surgery without waiting too long. Your donations will change his life. Open your hearts and give for Touseef’s surgery.

Muhammad Touseef's Story

Muhammad Touseef, a 12-year-old boy from Sahiwal, faced severe breathlessness, chest discomfort, and cyanosis since birth. His lips and skin often turned blue during physical activity, a sign of inadequate oxygenation. His inability to participate in games and other childhood activities left him isolated and fragile. Concerned about his condition, his parents received medical advice. After a thorough evaluation, the doctor diagnosed Touseef with Tetralogy of Fallot along with Absent Pulmonary Valve Syndrome (TOF-APVS). The doctor recommended angiography and open-heart surgery for Rastelli to correct these defects. However, the surgical cost was beyond his family’s reach.

Touseef lived in his uncle’s house along with his parents and siblings. Touseef’s father, the sole provider for the family, worked as a daily wage laborer and earned just PKR 40,000 per month. The cost of the surgery was far beyond their means, leaving the family distressed. In their search for help, they came across Transparent Hands and reached out for assistance. After listening to their concerns, we registered Touseef’s case to provide the treatment he needed.

On November 6, 2024, Touseef was admitted to Ittefaq Hospital in Lahore. The surgery was performed on November 8, 2024, by Dr. Asim Khan and he successfully corrected the defects and restored proper heart function. Touseef remained in the hospital for six days under close observation and was discharged on November 14, 2024, in stable condition.

Touseef’s parents expressed their heartfelt gratitude as follows:

“Seeing my son’s suffering was unbearable. We didn’t have enough money to afford the surgery. Through your support, he is recovering and can finally enjoy the childhood he missed. We are extremely thankful to you for this life-saving surgery.”

Today, Touseef is regaining strength and confidence. He can run, play, and look forward to a brighter future. This change was made possible by your compassion and support. Touseef’s family extends their deepest gratitude to you and the Pakistan Children’s Heart Foundation for giving him a second chance at life.
