You Restored Naseeb Zar’s Ability to Walk

Naseeb Zar's Story

Naseeb Zar, a 74-year-old from Batgram, KPK, had been suffering from left knee pain for many years. His ability to engage in routine activities was significantly affected, leading to a sedentary lifestyle. Activities like standing, walking, and maintaining balance became impossible for him, causing increased pain and risk of falls. Concerned about his condition, he consulted a doctor, who performed an x-ray and some medical tests and diagnosed Naseeb with osteoarthritis of the left knee. To restore his mobility and prevent further complications, the doctor recommended left total knee replacement surgery.

However, Naseeb didn’t have enough money to pay for the surgery. Naseeb was a pillar of strength for his family and lived an independent life but his knee condition made him dependent on others for performing even basic tasks. He has three sons: one is an Iman in a Mosque and the other two are factory employees. The family’s monthly income is insufficient to even cover their basic needs. In such an unfortunate situation, they had no option left other than to reach out to Transparent Hands and ask for help. Recognizing the gravity of his situation, we promptly registered his case.

On 11th August 2024, Naseeb was admitted to Zia Darman Hospital, Mardan. The surgery took place on 13th August 2024. Naseeb’s left total knee replacement surgery was performed by an experienced surgeon, Dr. Aimen Zia, and her medical team. After receiving post-operative care and essential medications, Naseeb was discharged from the hospital with new hope and determination on 14th August 2024.
Naseeb Zar said with tears in his eyes:

“Before surgery, every night was restless, and I felt so drained. With your help, I found healing, hope, and courage. I’m grateful for this chance. My new life has begun. I can’t forget your generosity.”

The successful knee replacement surgery lifted his spirits and provided healing. Now, he doesn’t need to depend on others and can spend the golden years of his life with independence. Naseeb and his family are extending their heartfelt gratitude to you for contributing to his surgery and alleviating his pain.
