Let’s Relieve Rakhan Bibi’s Abdominal Pain

Rakhan Bibi's Story

Rakhan Bibi, a 52-year-old woman from Karachi, has been suffering from pain in her upper right abdominal region for the past three years. She is unable to digest fatty meals due to this condition. She also experiences repeated bouts of nausea and vomiting. Recently, she visited a doctor at a local hospital. After performing an ultrasound scan and some lab tests, the doctor diagnosed Rakhan Bibi with Cholelithiasis. It is characterized by the formation of stones in the gallbladder. Her doctor has advised laparoscopic cholecystectomy to alleviate her suffering. However, the cost of the surgery is out of her financial reach.

If left untreated, Rakhan Bibi’s condition will continue to deteriorate over time. It may lead to severe complications like gallbladder infection, bile duct obstruction, or even organ damage.

Rakhan Bibi lives in a modest home with her husband and two children. Her husband, the sole breadwinner in the family, works as a rickshaw driver and brings in just PKR 25,000 per month. This income is insufficient to cover their utility bills, food as well as other living expenses. The family’s financial situation is stretched thin. After paying for their basic necessities, they are barely left with anything to save. The cost of Rakhan Bibi’s life-changing surgery is simply out of reach for them. During this challenging time, they have turned to Transparent Hands for help.

Rakhan Bibi said with teary eyes:

“I have been bearing this pain for a long time. Now I just want to get rid of this illness. No matter how hard my husband tries, his income hardly covers our basic needs. I humbly ask you to please support my surgery and enable me to live without pain.”

Each passing day without surgery brings her closer to severe complications. She wishes to be an active member of her family, cooking and caring for them.

Rakhan Bibi’s recovery depends on your generosity. Only you can make it possible for her to undergo the surgery and have a pain-free life. Let’s join hands and be a light in Rakhan Bibi’s darkest hours.

Rakhan Bibi's Story

Rakhan Bibi, a 52-year-old woman from Karachi, was experiencing persistent pain in the upper right side of her abdomen, along with recurring nausea and vomiting. Eating fatty meals became nearly impossible, and her condition gradually worsened, disrupting her ability to manage household tasks. Concerned about her declining health, Rakhan received medical help at a local hospital. After conducting an ultrasound and several lab tests, the doctor diagnosed her with Cholelithiasis. To relieve her pain and prevent further complications, the doctor advised laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, the cost of this surgery was beyond what Rakhan and her family could afford.

Rakhan lives with her husband and two children in a modest home. Her husband works as a rickshaw driver and earns just PKR 25,000 per month. This limited income goes towards utility bills, food, and other essential expenses. Saving for surgery was not an option, and the family found themselves in a state of helplessness. During this time of need, Rakhan Bibi reached out to Transparent Hands.

On May 22, 2025, she was admitted to Murshid Hospital, Karachi. Dr. Mariam Azam successfully performed the laparoscopic cholecystectomy. After receiving careful monitoring and necessary medicines, Rakhan was discharged in stable condition on May 23, 2025.

With visible relief, she said:

“The constant pain made my life miserable. I couldn’t eat properly or care for my family. Thanks to your support, I finally feel at peace. This surgery has given me back my health and comfort.”

Rakhan has now returned to her routine life, free from the pain that once restricted her every move. She can enjoy meals again and take care of her home and loved ones with ease. This change was made possible because of your kindness. Rakhan and her family are deeply grateful for the support that brought her lasting relief.
