Shakir Hussain, a forty seven years old, resident of Lahore, has been battling diabetes for a long time. Shakir developed a wound on his left foot which later got infected and became Gangrenous. Over time, the infection spread to his leg. He endured this pain for four months until the doctor advised him to get his leg amputated above his knee level. He went to a public hospital, where his leg was amputated. And his life was saved. 

Shakir, his wife, and their five children have been given shelter by a relative. Due to Shakir’s condition, he is unable to earn a living and completely rely on others for financial assistance and basic needs. He is now having difficulty doing the most basic tasks for himself. Shakir came to Transparent Hands with the request of left, above Knee Prosthesis so his life can gain back some normality and he can start earning a living. 

Shakir Hussain shared his ordeal with Transparent Hands in the following manner:

“My life has taken such a tragic turn and this amputation has got me in shock. I don’t know how I will ever overcome this. My only concern now is to get back on my feet and to be able to provide for my family. I don’t want to fall prey to despair. Please help.”
