Support Dua Fatima’s Heart Surgery

Dua Fatima 's Story

Dua had severe heart defects from birth. Only open-heart surgery can save her life, but her father cannot afford the costly procedure due to financial constraints. Your donation can help us save her heart. Please donate and support Dua Fatima’s heart surgery to help her live life to the fullest. She is like a delicate flower with her whole life ahead of her. 

One-year-old Dua, a resident of Khushab, has suffered from dyspnea, cyanosis, and nausea since birth. She is also unable to gain weight.  Her parents learned about her condition when she was eight months old. After doing some tests, the cardiologist found that she had several heart problems, including tricuspid atresia, atrial septal defect (ASD), and ventricular septal defect (VSD). The cardiac surgeon advised her to undergo open-heart surgery with a CP shunt.  

She lives in a small house with her parents and nine family members. Her father is the family’s sole provider, earning only PKR 40,000 monthly. He does not have any other source of income. Her father cannot afford the high cost of cardiac surgery on his meager income. Her father said in a depressed tone: 

“My daughter’s situation is critical. Her chances of survival diminish with each passing day. My inability to secure funds for her surgery is mentally and physically draining. Your generosity is her only chance at survival. 

Her parents have reached out to Transparent Hands out of deep concern for their daughter’s health. We are determined to fully support her open-heart surgery, but we need your help to save this little girl’s heart. Her parents have exhausted all other possibilities and have put their trust in your hands. We implore you to support Dua Fatima’s heart surgery to extend her life. Even a small donation can help her future by allowing her to play and live like other kids her age. Be the hope for Dua and her helpless parents.
