Save Horain’s Little Heart

Horain Fatima's Story

Horain, a 4-year-old girl from Sargodha, carries the weight of a life-threatening heart condition that casts a shadow over her innocence and childhood. Despite her tender age, Horain battles daily with symptoms that rob her of the joys of childhood—shortness of breath, chest pain, and an inability to gain weight—showing signs of a grave underlying issue. It was a year into her life when her parents first noticed these distressing symptoms, prompting them to seek medical help. After undergoing diagnostic tests and evaluations, a stark diagnosis was laid before them: Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), a complex congenital heart defect characterized by four heart abnormalities that threaten her very survival. The only glimmer of hope for Horain is a life-saving open-heart surgery, a procedure that promises a chance at a normal life.

Residing in a modest home with her loving parents and siblings, Horain’s family finds themselves in a dire financial predicament. Her father, the family’s sole breadwinner, earns a meager PKR 25,000 per month as a driver—a sum barely sufficient to cover their basic needs, let alone the exorbitant cost of the necessary cardiac surgery. Overwhelmed by the magnitude of his daughter’s medical needs, her father shared:

“My heart aches to see my little girl suffer so much. Every breath she struggles for reminds me of our helplessness. It’s a race against time, and without your generous support, we might lose our precious daughter.”

In their quest for hope, Horain’s family turned to Transparent Hands, where her case has been registered, highlighting the urgent need for surgical intervention.

Horain Fatima's Story

At just 4 years old, Horain's young life has already been consumed by a debilitating heart condition. From shortness of breath to chest pain, this brave little girl from Sargodha bravely fights symptoms that rob her of the simple joys of childhood.

Horain's struggle began when her parents first noticed her distressing symptoms a year into her life. After extensive testing, doctors delivered the difficult diagnosis - Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), a complex heart defect requiring immediate surgical intervention.

But for Horain's family, the path to treatment was riddled with daunting obstacles. Her father, the sole breadwinner, earns a meager 25,000 PKR per month as a driver - a sum barely sufficient to cover their basic needs, let alone the staggering cost of the critical cardiac surgery.

Facing this dire financial predicament, Horain's family reached out to Transparent Hands, a non-profit organization providing healthcare support to those in need. With the generous donations of caring supporters, Horain was admitted to Ittefaq Hospital in Lahore, where skilled surgeon Dr. Asim Khan successfully performed the life-saving median sternotomy, VSD closure, and RVOTO resection.

After just 8 days in the hospital, the resilient young girl was discharged, her health restored and her future brightened. Now, Horain and her family are profoundly grateful for the support that has given her a second chance at a healthy, happy life.

This is the power of compassion in action. Through the kindness of donors, Horain has been granted the opportunity to reclaim her childhood, free from the burdens of her heart condition. Her brave journey is a testament to the transformative impact we can have when we come together to support those in need. Horain is deeply grateful for the support she received from Transparent Hands, Pakistan Children's Heart Foundation, and all donors.
