Save Abdul Hadi’s Little Heart

Abdul Hadi's Story

Abdul Hadi, a 3-year-old boy from Sargodha, has been battling a severe heart condition since birth. For the past three years, he has been struggling with shortness of breath, chest pain, and debilitating fatigue.

After a series of diagnostic tests and medical evaluations, the doctors diagnosed Abdul Hadi with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) – a complex congenital heart defect that includes a small left ventricle (LV) and pulmonary stenosis (PS). In 2022, Abdul underwent his first surgery, a left Blalock-Taussig shunt (BTS), in an attempt to alleviate his symptoms and improve his quality of life.

As he returned for a follow-up appointment, the doctors have now advised him to undergo an angiography and an open-heart surgery to perform a central pulmonary (CP) shunt. This critical procedure is essential to address the underlying cardiac issues and give him the best chance of leading a healthier life.

Tragically, Abdul Hadi’s family is facing immense financial challenges that threaten to jeopardize his access to the necessary medical care. His father, a drug addict, is unable to contribute to the family’s finances, while his mother works as a housemaid, earning a meager PKR 6,000 per month. The family is entirely dependent on the support of Abdul’s aunt and other relatives, as there are no other reliable sources of income.

Abdul’s mother expressed her anguish, “My child’s life hangs in the balance, and I am powerless to provide him with the treatment he so desperately needs. I long for the day when I can see his bright smile and watch him play without the burden of this debilitating condition.”

Time is of the essence, and Abdul Hadi’s family desperately needs assistance. Your generous contributions, no matter the amount, can make a profound difference in this young boy’s life. By coming together as a community, we can alleviate the financial burden and ensure that Abdul receives the life-saving surgery he requires to overcome his heart condition and reclaim his childhood.
