Support Kalsoom’s Cochlear Implant Surgery

Kalsoom Bibi's Story

Kulsoom, an innocent three-year-old girl, finds herself trapped in a world of silence. Deprived of the precious ability to hear the voices of her loved ones and the harmonious melodies of nature, she yearns for the fundamental human need for communication. The absence of sound stifles her growth and hampers her connection with the world that surrounds her. Can you even begin to imagine what it would be like to live in a world devoid of sound?

Born in Charsadda, Kulsoom has endured the burden of congenital sensorineural hearing loss since her birth. After numerous tests, she was diagnosed with sensorineural deafness. Yet, there remains hope shimmering on the horizon for Kulsoom. The doctors have recommended cochlear implant surgery, an innovative procedure that holds the potential to completely revolutionize her existence. Through this extraordinary surgical intervention, Kulsoom can receive the priceless gift of hearing.

Residing in a rented house with her parents and two siblings, Kulsoom’s father earns a meager monthly income of just PKR 40,000. The weight of his financial limitations renders him helpless in the face of the exorbitant costs associated with the surgery. He expresses his anguish, saying:

“I watch my daughter, burdened by hearing loss, unable to experience the symphony of life. The weight of our limited finances overwhelms me with despair.”

With a heart brimming with hope and an impassioned plea, Kulsoom’s father turned to Transparent Hands, desperately seeking a lifeline for his daughter. In his quest for salvation, he longs to provide her with the sweet melodies of sound that have been absent from her life for far too long. The prospect of a world confined to silence indefinitely weighs heavily on them.
