Madni Found New Hope After Undergoing Heart Surgery

Muhammad Madni's Story

Muhammad Madni, a 6-year-old boy from Dera Ghazi Khan, had been suffering from breathlessness and chest discomfort since birth. His lips and fingertips also turned blue frequently. Unlike other children of his age, Madni couldn’t enjoy outdoor games. His parents were heartbroken by his suffering. They consulted a doctor, who diagnosed Madni with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). The doctor recommended open-heart surgery for total correction. However, Madni’s family couldn’t afford to pay for his surgery.

Living in a small rented mud house, the family barely managed their basic needs. Madni’s father, a daily wage laborer, worked hard to support his family of seven. His monthly income of PKR 15,000 per month was insufficient to even cover their household expenses. Managing to pay for this expensive surgery was impossible for them. Desperate to save their son, his parents reached out to Transparent Hands for assistance. After reviewing Madni’s case, we took swift action to ensure he received the care he needed.

On 3rd November 2024, Madni was admitted to the Ittefaq Hospital in Lahore. The surgery was scheduled for 4th November 2024. Dr. Asim Khan skillfully performed his surgery, repairing the defects in Madni’s heart and restoring normal blood flow. Following a successful procedure, Madni remained under observation for seven days, receiving post-operative care. On 12th November 2024, he was discharged in stable condition, bringing relief and hope to his family.

Madni’s parents expressed their heartfelt gratitude as follows:

“Our son suffered so much in his young life. Seeing him unable to breathe properly or run around like other children broke our hearts. Through your support, he is recovering now. Words cannot express how thankful we are for this second chance you’ve given him.”

Today, Madni is regaining his strength and enjoying the simple joys of childhood that were once out of reach. He can play, attend school, and dream of a bright future. This change was made possible by your generous donations.
Madni’s family deeply appreciates your kindness and thanks the Pakistan Children’s Heart Foundation for supporting this life-saving mission. You changed his life forever!
