Support Aman’s Open-Heart Surgery

Muhammad Aman's Story

Aman was born with congenital heart defects. The doctor has advised Redo open-heart surgery, but his parents cannot afford to pay for it due to financial constraints. We urge you to support Aman’s open-heart surgery to help him live a healthy life.

Muhammad Aman, a 14-year-old resident of Sheikhupura, has been grappling with dyspnea, cyanosis, and recurring episodes of chest pain. Since his early years, Aman’s parents have witnessed his health deteriorate, tirelessly striving to manage his condition. Concerned about his well-being, they sought medical assistance at the local hospital, where diagnostic tests revealed a diagnosis of Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) – a complex heart condition altering blood flow within the heart. To rectify his condition, his surgery for total correction was performed in 2011. After some years, he came to consult a cardiologist with the same symptoms and he was diagnosed with pulmonary stenosis. Again, he underwent another surgery for pulmonary valve replacement in 2018. Recently, he again complained and investigations revealed that his pulmonary valve is malfunctioning again and needs replacement.

He is living with his parents and three siblings in a small house. His father is the family’s only breadwinner and earns PKR 25,000 per month. His family is leading a hand-to-mouth life. His father’s income is not enough to cover the surgical expenses, and they desperately need help. His father said in a depressed tone:

“My beloved son is fighting for his life, and your donations are the only hope he has to overcome his heart condition.”

Aman’s parents reached out to us, and we registered his case. However, we need donations to provide him with a redo open-heart surgery. His parents have exhausted all other options and have placed their hopes in your hands. Every donation, no matter how small, can make a difference in the life of this young boy. Please support Aman’s open-heart surgery and help us save his life.

Recently, he again complained, and investigations revealed that his pulmonary valve is malfunctioning again and needs replacement. The doctor advised him to undergo redo median sternotomy, VSD closure, and implantation of RV to PA conduit. Unfortunately, his father’s income was not enough to cover the surgical expenses, and they contacted Transparent Hands for financial support.

He was admitted to Ittefaq Hospital, Lahore, where his operation was performed by Dr. Asim on 19-06-2023. After a remarkable recovery, he was discharged from the hospital, after spending five days there. He was asked for a follow-up visit for the removal of stitching after 10 days. He was also advised to have an echocardiogram after one month. The surgery was successful due to the unwavering support of the Pakistan Children's Heart Foundation and significant contributions from individuals like you.

With each breath, he takes in a renewed sense of vitality, free from the constraints that once held him captive. Muhammad Aman can finally enjoy being a teenager, discover his true passions, and create a life full of fulfilled ambitions now that his health has been restored.
