Zainab Awaits a C-Section to Deliver Her Baby Safely
Zainab Fatima's Story
Meet Zainab Fatima, a 23-year-old woman from Lahore, who is pregnant with her second child. However, her life is filled with both happiness and worry. Zainab has faced numerous challenges including a history of three C-sections, two of which were for stillbirths. Considering her past medical history and the potential risk of future complications, her doctor has strongly recommended another C-section for safe delivery. Unfortunately, the cost of the surgery is beyond her financial means.
If she doesn’t undergo a C-section, she may face uterine rupture, excessive bleeding, or infection which can be life-threatening for both mother and baby.
Zainab lives in a one-room house with her husband and one child. She is a housewife and her husband works as a rider and earns only PKR 30,000 per month. With this meager monthly income, they barely cover utility bills and other household expenses. The C-section is necessary for Zainab and her baby but their financial limitations don’t allow them to afford the surgery. This situation fills Zainab and her husband’s hearts with concerns and they are scared about their future.
After experiencing two stillbirths and undergoing three C-sections, Zainab is pregnant again. However, their financial hardships are now becoming an obstacle. During this time of need, Zainab reached out to Transparent Hands and asked for assistance. Zainab expressed her heartfelt plea as follows:
“My heart is filled with worry. I wish to hold my baby in my arms, but we cannot afford the C-section. Every night, we are consumed with fear about what lies ahead. We desperately need your support to welcome our baby safely into this world.”
This expectant mother longs to welcome her baby safely into the world, but she cannot afford the C-section. Your generous donations can help her receive the necessary care and ensure a safe delivery. Please support her during this time of need.

Zainab Fatima's Story
Zainab Fatima, a 23-year-old resident of Lahore, was pregnant with her second child. While this should be a joyful chapter of her life, Zainab‘s heart had been filled with uncertainty. She had a medical history of three previous C-sections, two of which tragically resulted in stillbirths. Given her complicated obstetric history, her doctor strongly recommended a planned C-section to ensure the safety of both mother and baby. However, the cost of the C-section was out of her reach.
Zainab lived in a single-room house with her husband and one child. Her husband worked as a delivery rider, earning a modest monthly income of just PKR 30,000. After covering basic necessities such as utility bills and food, they were left with no savings to afford the cost of her surgery. The stress of financial limitations added to Zainab’s emotional strain. With nowhere else to turn, the family reached out to Transparent Hands in the hope of receiving support. Understanding the nature of her condition, our team registered her case without delay.
Zainab was admitted to Akram Medical Complex, Lahore, on March 5, 2025. The very same day, her C-section was successfully performed by Dr. Asia. The operation went smoothly, and she gave birth to a healthy baby girl, bringing immense joy to the family. After receiving proper post-operative care, Zainab was discharged in good health on March 6, 2025.
Zainab shared her heartfelt appreciation with us as follows: “After all the pain and loss I’ve experienced, holding my healthy baby in my arms brought me immense joy. Your support has given me not just medical care but also peace of mind and hope.”
Today, Zainab is recovering well and enjoying precious moments with her newborn. This life-changing support wouldn’t have been possible without your kindness and generosity. Zainab and her family are eternally grateful to you for stepping in during their darkest hour.
Your kindness truly made a difference.
