You Can Change Noran Bibi’s Life with Kidney Stone Surgery

Noran Bibi's Story

For the past few months, Noran Bibi, a 50-year-old woman from Vehari, has been living with pain in her left flank that keeps returning and disrupting her days. The discomfort often comes with nausea and vomiting. While suffering and facing worries, she consulted a doctor and underwent diagnostic investigations. After evaluating her condition, the doctor diagnosed her with left-sided renal stones, hard mineral deposits that form in the kidney and can trigger severe flank pain, nausea, and vomiting when they obstruct or irritate the urinary tract. To remove the stones and ease her symptoms, the doctor has recommended left percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) along with ureteroscopy (URS) and DJ stent placement. Sadly, the cost of this surgery is far beyond what her family can afford on a single modest income. Without timely surgery, Noran may continue to face repeated episodes of left-sided pain with nausea and vomiting. Completing the planned treatment is important to relieve her suffering and help protect her kidney from further strain, infection, or blockage that untreated stones can cause over time.

Noran is a housewife and the mother of five children. Her husband is unemployed, and only her daughter is currently employed and earns about PKR 70,000 per month. She supports a family of seven, including six dependents who rely on this one wage for every basic need. The family lives in a modest two-room brick house and spends about PKR 1,000 a month on utility bills. After covering food and daily essentials for so many people under one roof, nothing is left for Noran’s much-needed kidney stone surgery.

Noran shared her heartfelt plea as follows:

“This pain in my side has taken the peace out of my days and nights. When the nausea starts, I feel helpless in front of my children. Kindly help me receive this life-saving treatment so I can live without worries.”

Noran deserves relief from the pain that has followed her for many months now. Your generosity can help her reach the operating theatre and reclaim comfort, hope, and dignity in her daily life once more.
