Support Sameen Hamid’s Open Cholecystectomy

Sameen Hamid's Story

Sameen Hamid, a 28-year-old resident of Lahore, has been experiencing persistent pain in her right upper abdomen for the past 3 months, accompanied by episodes of nausea and vomiting. Approximately 7 months ago, Sameen underwent a successful paraumbilical hernia repair surgery through the Transparent Hands.

However, Sameen’s health concerns have now taken a new turn. After a thorough consultation and diagnostic tests, including an ultrasound, Sameen’s doctor has recommended that she undergo an open cholecystectomy, a surgical procedure to remove her gallbladder.

Sameen’s family situation adds to the challenges she is facing. She lives in her own house in Lahore with a joint family setting, with 12 members, including her husband, two children, and her husband’s brothers. Her husband works as a lab technician, while his brothers are daily wage earners, with a combined monthly income of around PKR 50,000.

Despite their efforts, Sameen’s family’s financial condition is not favorable. They struggle to make ends meet, with monthly utility bills amounting to PKR 5,000 and school fees for their children costing PKR 1,000. This financial strain makes it impossible for Sameen’s husband to afford the surgical expenses required for the open cholecystectomy.

“I am in constant discomfort, and this condition is preventing me from fully participating in my family’s daily life,” Sameen says with a heavy heart. “Your financial support can help alleviate my suffering and enable me to regain my health and vitality so that I can once again be an active and contributing member of my household.”

Sameen’s case has been registered with Transparent Hands, and they are committed to providing her with the best possible medical care. However, she is relying on the generosity of donors like you to make this surgery a reality. Please consider donating to Sameen’s open cholecystectomy fund, and help her reclaim her health and her quality of life.
