Rally for Dua Zareef’s Open Heart Surgery

Dua Zareef's Story

Dua Zareef, a 6-year-old girl from Dera Ghazi Khan, is facing a challenging health condition that has deeply impacted her life. She suffers from shortness of breath, chest pain, and struggles with weight gain. Her parents first became aware of her condition when she was just 1 year old. After undergoing diagnostic tests and evaluations, the doctor diagnosed her with a large ASD with right ventricle volume overload, and advised her to undergo ASD (patch closure) surgery. This surgical intervention is crucial to alleviate her symptoms and improve her quality of life.

Unfortunately, Dua’s family is facing dire financial circumstances. Her father tragically passed away two years ago, leaving her mother as the sole caretaker. They currently reside in her uncle’s house in Dera Ghazi Khan, which consists of two rooms, one of which is shared by Dua, her mother, and her sibling. The entire family is dependent on Dua’s uncle, who is the sole breadwinner and just earns PKR 25,000 as a daily wager. With no other source of income, he struggles to meet the financial demands of his own family, and he is not financially stable to cover the expenses of Dua’s necessary surgery.

Dua’s mother said the following words with teary eyes:

“In my helplessness, I appeal to your hearts for support. With the loss of my husband and limited savings, I find myself unable to afford the surgical expenses for Dua. We are entirely dependent on my brother-in-law, who has his own family to care for. The burden of medical expenses in our limited income of PKR 25,000 is simply insurmountable. Your generosity and compassion can bring hope to my daughter’s life in this time of need.”
