Abdul Waheed Has Overcome His Sealed Intestinal Perforation

Abdul Waheed's Story

Abdul Waheed, a 60-year-old man from Lahore, had been suffering from persistent abdominal pain and swelling for the past two months. His condition gradually worsened, affecting his sleep and leaving him unable to carry out his daily tasks. Despite seeking medical help and receiving symptomatic treatment, his pain persisted without any signs of improvement. Determined to find the cause of his illness, Abdul Waheed consulted a specialist at a nearby hospital. After a thorough evaluation, he was diagnosed with Sealed Intestinal Perforation. The doctor recommended an exploratory laparotomy with lavage and drainage. Without it, his condition could worsen and lead to life-threatening complications.

However, the financial burden of the surgery was beyond Abdul Waheed’s reach. He lives in a modest home with his wife and four children. As the sole breadwinner, he works as a salesman at a garment shop, earning just PKR 40,000 per month. With this limited income, he struggles to manage household expenses and ensure his children’s well-being. Affording such a costly surgical procedure was simply not possible for him. During his time of need, Abdul Waheed turned to Transparent Hands for support. Moved by his plea, we registered his case.

On April 30, 2025, Abdul Waheed was admitted to Lahore Care Hospital. His surgery was performed successfully by Dr. Ahmed Fawad. Abdul Waheed recovered well and was discharged in stable condition on May 2, 2025.

Abdul Waheed described his happiness as follows:
“The pain had taken over my life, and I feared for my future. After the surgery, I feel like a new person. I’ll never forget the kindness shown to me during my darkest time.”

After the successful surgery, Abdul Waheed is living a pain-free life and has resumed his work with new strength.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the donors whose generosity helped restore Abdul Waheed’s health and dignity.
