You Ensured Fozia’s Recovery from Uterine Fibroids

Fozia Israr's Story

Fozia Israr, a 48-year-old woman from Karachi, had been struggling with heavy menstrual bleeding for a long time. The condition left her physically drained and often confined her to bed. She also experienced persistent tiredness and weakness, which made it difficult for her to manage household responsibilities and care for her two children. As her condition worsened, Fozia visited a local hospital to seek help. After a detailed examination and several tests, the doctor diagnosed her with uterine fibroids—a condition where noncancerous growths develop in the uterus. To relieve her symptoms and prevent further health complications, the doctor advised a hysterectomy.

However, the cost of the surgery was far beyond what Fozia’s family could afford. She lived in a small, one-room brick house with her husband and two children. Her husband worked as a security guard at a private company and earned just PKR 20,000 per month. Most of his earnings were spent on rent, utility bills, and the children’s education. With no savings at all, the family was in desperate need of assistance. During their time of need, they reached out to Transparent Hands. After understanding her condition and financial background, we promptly registered her case and arranged her surgery.

On February 13, 2025, Fozia was admitted to Murshid Hospital in Karachi. Dr. Farkhanda Saeed skillfully performed the hysterectomy, successfully removing the fibroids and relieving Fozia from her ongoing suffering. She was closely monitored during her recovery and discharged in stable condition on February 17, 2025.

Fozia shared her heartfelt gratitude as follows:

“Living in constant pain made me forget what happiness felt like. After the surgery, I wake up every day with a smile, free from the burden of my illness. You gave me the greatest gift, and I am immensely grateful to you for your kindness.”

Thanks to your support, Fozia is now recovering well and enjoying a life free from the pain and discomfort that once held her back.

She and her family thank you for being a source of hope during their time of need.
