Relieve Zainab Bibi’s Pain with Cholecystectomy

Zainab Bibi's Story

Zainab Bibi, a 44-year-old woman from Pakpattan, is suffering from upper right abdominal pain. She also often faces nausea and vomiting. Her intolerance to fatty meals makes life even more challenging. Moreover, she is unable to fulfill her responsibilities as a mother and wife. Worried about her condition, she consulted a doctor at a local hospital. After performing a comprehensive examination, the doctor diagnosed her with symptomatic gallstones – the formation of hard mineral deposits in the gallbladder. To ease her gallbladder pain, the doctor has advised open cholecystectomy. However, the cost of the surgery is out of her family’s reach.

If Zainab’s condition is left untreated, it may lead to complications like bile duct obstruction and gallbladder infection.

Zainab lives in a modest home with her husband and seven children. Her husband, the sole breadwinner in the family, works as a daily wage laborer and brings in just PKR 20,000 per month. This income is insignificant to cover their utility bills, food, and the living expenses of their nine family members. At times, Zainab’s family struggles to put food on the table and manage other expenses. They are surviving in extreme poverty, and affording to pay for Zainab’s surgery is beyond their reach. During this difficult time, they have turned to Transparent Hands and asked for assistance.

Zainab said in despair:

“It’s hard for me to spend each day of my life with this illness. It feels like a burden now and has taken away my ability to manage my home and care for my children. We face immense financial hardships and can’t afford the surgery. Kindly support me in undergoing the surgery.”

Zainab’s life has been affected by her illness, and she deserves to live a healthy life. Only you can help her overcome this condition and have an improved quality of life.

Be generous and change Zainab’s life by contributing for her surgery.
