Mahnoor Awaits Cochlear Implant Surgery
Mahnoor Fatima's Story
Four-year-old Mahnoor Fatima from Sahiwal has been struggling with congenital hearing loss. She lives with her parents and sister in a village near Sahiwal. When she was a year old, her parents found out about her hearing loss.
Mahnoor’s parents took her to a nearby local hospital, where the doctor recommended cochlear implant surgery. This surgery accompanied by speech therapy sessions would provide her access to a whole new universe of sounds and sensations.
Regretfully, Mahnoor’s family is facing a lot of financial difficulties. Her father earns PKR 15,000 a month as the only provider for the family. Their basic living expenditures, which include PKR 3,000 for utilities and PKR 5,000 for rent, are hardly met by this income.
The cost of cochlear implant operation is expected to cost over PKR 2 million, which is considerably above the family’s resources. Mahnoor’s father is disturbed by his inability to pay for the surgery his daughter needs.
Mahnoor’s father said in despair:
“The pain of seeing my beloved daughter suffer in silence and isolation from the world breaks my heart.”
Mahnoor’s family has contacted Transparent Hands as we offer assistance and healthcare services to those in need. We aim to raise funds to provide her with this life-changing procedure, which will transform her life.
If Mahnoor gets a cochlear implant, she will be able to hear and have more opportunities. She will be able to hear her family’s laughter and the sounds of nature.
This is only possible only with the support of your generous donations. We urge you to come forward and ensure that Mahnoor’s world is no longer silent but filled with delightful sounds.
Please Note: In certain situations, we proceed with the patient's surgery/medical procedure despite incomplete funding displayed on the website. Following the surgery/medical procedure, we persist in collecting funds and maintain the campaign on the website until funding is secured in full. Hospitals have granted us a grace period for bill payment.

Mahnoor Fatima's Story
Mahnoor Fatima, a 4-year-old girl from Sahiwal, had lived in a silent world since birth. Her parents noticed her unresponsiveness to sounds when she was one year old. Mahnoor never responded to her name being called and also faced difficulty in being understood by people. As she grew, she faced more challenges that came with her deafness. Her parents consulted a doctor, who after performing a thorough examination diagnosed Mahnoor with congenital sensorineural hearing loss. Mahnoor used to remain quiet and was losing touch with life. The doctor recommended cochlear implant surgery to enable her to hear. However, Mahnoor’s family was not able to afford the expensive surgery. She lived in a rented house with her three family members. Her father is the sole provider for the family and earns just PKR 15000 per month. With his meager monthly income, he hardly managed the house rent, utility bills, and groceries. Due to their financial constraints, the surgical cost was overwhelming for them. During her time of need, Transparent Hands stepped in to help Mahnoor and allowed her to explore the world of sounds. On 27-07-2-24, Mahnoor was admitted to GIMS Hospital in Gambat. The surgery took place on 28-07-2024. Dr. Maqbool Ahmed, carefully inserted the internal component of the cochlear implant. Mahnoor recovered and was discharged just one day after the surgery. The external component of the cochlear implant was installed six weeks after the surgery. Mahnoor now attends speech therapy programs which is another milestone in her successful recovery. Mahnoor’s parents expressed their gratitude as follows: “Your compassion and generosity have changed Mahnoor’s life. We are overwhelmed with joy and appreciation. You supported us when we had nowhere else to turn. Thanks for being there!” Mahnoor’s parents are filled with hope for her future, knowing that their daughter now has the opportunity to live a fuller and happy life. The future now holds endless possibilities for Mahnoor, and it’s all made possible due to your generosity. You made a significant impact on Mahnoor’s life.
