Rubab’s Struggle for a Chance at a Healthy Life

Rubab Zadi's Story

Six-year-old Rubab Zadi has battled breathing difficulties and chest pains for most of her young life. When her parents first noticed these troubling symptoms at just 1 year old, they knew something was wrong. After extensive medical testing, Rubab was diagnosed with atrial septal defect (ASD), a congenital heart condition where there is a hole between the upper chambers of the heart.

The doctor’s recommendation was clear: Rubab needed surgery to close the ASD and give her a chance at a healthy life. However, for Rubab’s family living in a modest mud home in a village near Jhang, affording this critical procedure was simply out of reach.

Rubab’s father, a daily wage laborer earning just 20,000 PKR per month, is the sole breadwinner supporting his wife and three other children. With utility bills and school fees taking a significant portion of the family’s meager income, there is little left over to cover Rubab’s surgical expenses.

“It pains me to see my daughter struggle to breathe and grow,” Rubab’s father shared, his voice heavy with emotion. “As her father, I want nothing more than to give her the treatment she needs, but the costs are beyond what I can afford. I lie awake at night worrying about her future. “My daughter deserves a chance to live a full and healthy life, just like other children. With your support, we can give her that opportunity.”

Time is of the essence for Rubab. Without the ASD closure surgery, her condition will only deteriorate, putting her young life at serious risk.
