Relieve Shaheen’s Gallbladder Pain
Shaheen Zaheer's Story
Shaheen Zaheer, a 23-year-old woman from Matiari, Sindh, has been experiencing upper right abdominal pain for the past three years. What started as mild discomfort gradually turned into severe pain in her abdomen. Her condition is accompanied by frequent nausea and indigestion, especially after eating fatty meals. However, the persistent pain often forces her to rest for hours, leaving her feeling helpless. Concerned for her health, her husband finally took her to a local hospital. After a medical examination and diagnostic tests, the doctor diagnosed her with gallstones. The doctor has advised her to undergo a Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy to remove her gallbladder. However, the cost of the surgery is beyond her family’s reach.
If Shaheen does not undergo surgery, her condition will worsen. She risks developing severe complications, including infection of the gallbladder, bile duct blockage, or even damage to surrounding organs, which would be life-threatening.
Shaheen and her husband are devastated. They know that surgery is her only chance for recovery, but they also know they can’t afford it. Her husband works as a laborer and earns a modest income of just PKR 18,000 per month. With ten family members relying on him, including children and elderly parents, there’s barely enough to put food on the table. The family lives in a small mud house, and they have no savings at all to pay for Shaheen’s much-needed surgery. During this difficult time, Shaheen has reached out to Transparent Hands and asked for assistance.
Shaheen expressed her heartfelt plea as follows:
“This pain is getting worse, and I can’t live a healthy life now. I don’t want to be a burden on others. I just want to be well again and take care of my family like before. Kindly help me undergo the surgery.”
Your support can help Shaheen reclaim her health and dignity. A small act of generosity can bring lasting relief to her and her family.
Let’s stand with Shaheen and help her through this difficult time.
