Restoring Sight for Zain Abbas

Zain Abbas's Story

Zain Abbas is a 7-year-old boy from Multan who is facing the challenges of living with cataracts. The condition has significantly affected his vision, causing difficulty and inconvenience in his daily life. Zain is facing immense hardship due to this condition. The doctor has recommended surgery, specifically LMA and IOL, to address his short-sightedness. While Transparent Hands successfully facilitated the first cataract surgery on his left eye in March 2022, To restore the sight Zain now requires surgery for the right eye. However, the family’s financial limitations have made it impossible for them to afford the procedure.

Zain’s father works as a rickshaw driver, earning approximately PKR 700–800 per day. Despite his hard work, the family’s income is meager. He lives with his parents in a rented house, facing the constant struggle to make ends meet. Zain’s father’s monthly income of PKR 16,000 is barely enough to cover their basic expenses. With a rent of PKR 2,000 and utility bills amounting to PKR 1,000, the family finds it challenging to address their daily needs, let alone afford the surgery required for their son’s vision restoration.

Zain’s father said it in a depressed tone:

“Join us in transforming Zain’s life, as your generosity will bring clarity and brighten his future with the gift of sight.”

Transparent Hands has been a ray of hope for Zain and his family. We provided the necessary support for Zain’s left eye cataract surgery, offering a glimpse of the possibilities that lie ahead. However, the family still requires financial assistance to proceed with the right eye surgery. Zain’s parents are overwhelmed with gratitude for the help they have received, and they appeal for further support to complete their son’s journey towards restored sight.

Zain Abbas's Story

Seven-year-old Zain Abbas from Multan faced a daunting challenge: living with cataracts that severely impaired his vision and made even basic daily tasks difficult. Zain's family struggled to afford the recommended surgery, as his father's meager monthly income of just 16,000 PKR could barely cover their essential expenses.

Determined to restore Zain's sight, the family reached out to the generous team at Transparent Hands. We reviewed Zain's case and quickly mobilized to provide the necessary support. In March 2022, Transparent Hands facilitated Zain's first cataract surgery on his left eye, giving him renewed hope. However, he still required an operation on his right eye to fully regain his vision.

With time running out, Zain's family appealed to Transparent Hands once more. The organization sprang into action, leveraging its network of donors to raise the funds needed for Zain's second surgery. On April 23, 2024, Zain was admitted to Bakhtawar Amin Memorial Teaching Hospital in Multan, where renowned ophthalmologist Dr. Sadaqat Ali performed the life-changing procedure. The surgery was a resounding success, effectively addressing Zain's right-eye cataract and restoring his sight.

Overjoyed, Zain's family expressed their heartfelt gratitude to Transparent Hands and the generous donors who made this incredible transformation possible. Zain, now able to see the world clearly, can once again participate in everyday activities and pursue his dreams without the burden of impaired vision.

This success story serves as a testament to the power of compassion and the difference that can be made when individuals come together to support those in need. The journey of Zain Abbas is a shining example of how access to quality healthcare can truly transform lives, opening up a world of possibilities for a child in need.
