Play Your Part in Saving Khadija’s Life with Cardiac Surgery

Khadija Noor's Story

Khadija Noor, a 5-year-old girl from Mianwali, struggles with shortness of breath, chest discomfort, and constant fatigue that make even simple activities difficult. While children of her age play and run freely, Khadija’s heart condition has turned her childhood into a daily battle. Concerned about her worsening health, Khadija’s parents took her to a doctor. After thorough examinations and diagnostic testing, the doctors diagnosed her with Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) and Pulmonary Stenosis (PS). These are two serious congenital heart conditions that affect the normal flow of blood through her heart. To save her life and prevent further complications, doctors have recommended open-heart surgery for total correction. Unfortunately, the cost of this procedure is far beyond what her family can afford.

If Khadija does not receive timely treatment, her condition may lead to serious complications such as:

• Progressive heart failure
• Breathing difficulties
• Delayed growth
• Life-threatening cardiac complications.

Khadija lives in a small rented house with her parents and four siblings. Her father works as a security guard and earns only PKR 30,000 per month, which is barely enough to support the family’s basic needs. Most of his income is consumed by the house rent of PKR 20,000, household expenses, and educational costs for the children. With six family members depending on a single income, arranging the money required for Khadija’s heart surgery is simply impossible for them. Despite their hardships, Khadija’s parents continue to hold on to hope. They dream of seeing their daughter healthy, active, and able to enjoy the childhood every child deserves.

With tears in her eyes, Khadija’s mother shared her heartfelt appeal as follows: “My heart breaks every time I see Khadija gasping for breath. While other children enjoy their childhood, my daughter spends her days battling with a heart condition. We are helpless due to the cost of her surgery, but we have not lost hope. Kindly save Khadija’s life.”

Khadija’s future depends on receiving this life-saving surgery as soon as possible. Your generosity can give her the chance to grow up healthy and enjoy a normal childhood free from pain and fear.
