You Healed Ahmad’s Heart Through Surgery

Muhammad Ahmad's Story

Muhammad Ahmad, a 3-year-old boy from Depalpur, Okara, has been suffering from repeated episodes of chest infections since birth. Every mild to moderate physical activity made him gasp for breath and he felt exhausted. Unlike other children of his age, he was unable to enjoy the cherished moments of his childhood. Hoping to find answers, his family took him to a local hospital and consulted a doctor. After running necessary medical tests, the doctor diagnosed Ahmad with a Large Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) and Right Ventricular Volume Overload (RVVO). To heal his heart issue, the doctor strongly recommended open-heart surgery for ASD closure. Unfortunately, the cost of the surgery was beyond his family’s financial capacity.

Ahmad’s mother is the sole breadwinner of the family and earns a monthly income of just PKR 25,000 as a seamstress and tutor. Ahmed has two siblings, and they all live in a modest home provided by someone out of generosity. After covering their utility bills and food expenses, they were left with nothing to save for Ahmad’s surgery. They faced immense financial hardships, and affording to pay for his surgery was impossible for them. With hope in her heart, Ahmad’s mother turned to Transparent Hands and asked for assistance. After listening to her concerns, we promptly registered her case.

On April 22, 2025, Ahmad was admitted to Ittefaq Hospital in Lahore. His surgery took place on April 23, 2025. Dr. Asim Khan, an expert surgeon, expertly performed Ahmad’s surgery and closed the defects in Ahmad’s heart. On April 27, 2025, Ahmad was discharged in stable condition from the hospital.

His mother’s eyes were filled with tears, and she said:

“I still can’t believe that my son’s heart surgery was successful. Before the operation, I counted each day, hoping for someone to help us. I never imagined we would receive such incredible support. Your generosity helped treat my son’s heart condition, and I will be forever grateful.”

Ahmad is now recovering well, and he can now play, run, and laugh like other kids of his age. By donating to his surgery, you have secured his future.

His family extends their deepest gratitude to you and the Pakistan Children’s Heart Foundation for changing Ahmad’s life.
