You Eased Erum Gulzar’s Abdominal Pain

Erum Gulzar's Story

Erum Gulzar, a 40-year-old woman from Karachi, was experiencing pain in her upper right abdominal region. She also faced repeated bouts of nausea and vomiting. Eating became a continuous source of discomfort with time. Concerned about her condition, she went to a nearby hospital and consulted a doctor. After performing an ultrasound scan as well as some lab tests, the doctor diagnosed Erum with Cholelithiasis. The only way to alleviate her pain was laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, the surgical cost was overwhelming for her family.

Erum lived in a modest home with her elderly mother and a son. She is the sole breadwinner of her family, works at a private organization, and makes just PKR 30,000 per month. A significant portion of her income was spent on household expenses, including utility bills, her son’s school fees, and food expenses. She was left with nothing to save for her much-needed surgery. Her condition significantly affected her daily life, but she could do nothing but be patient. A day came in her life when a well-wisher told her about Transparent Hands and asked for help. After listening to her concerns, we registered her case.

On April 2, 2025, Erum was admitted to Altamash Hospital in Karachi. Her surgery was scheduled for the same day. Dr. Imran carefully performed her surgery. The surgery was a success, relieving Erum’s pain and discomfort. Erum received post-operative care and was discharged in good health on April 5, 2025.

Erum expressed her heartfelt gratitude as follows:

“This surgery gave me more than just physical relief. I feel stronger, happier, and healthier than ever before. I am incredibly thankful to you for your immense support. You’ve brought happiness back into my world.”

Erum is recovering and looking forward to living a happy life with her mother and son.

It was all possible because of your generosity. Her family will forever be grateful to you for making a meaningful impact on her life.
