You Saved Muhammad Usman’s Life

Muhammad Usman's Story

Muhammad Usman, a 2-year-old resident of Bahawalpur, had been experiencing severe chest discomfort and shortness of breath since birth. These symptoms affected his ability to play and grow like other kids his age. Deeply concerned, his parents consulted a doctor. After undergoing extensive diagnostic tests, Usman was diagnosed with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and Double Outlet Right Ventricle (DORV). The doctor advised open-heart surgery for total correction to save Usman’s life. However, the surgical cost was beyond his family’s financial capacity.

Usman lived in his uncle’s house along with his family. His father worked as a daily wage laborer and made just PKR 15000 per month. The family survived in extreme poverty. The cost of the surgery was far beyond their financial means. During this challenging time, the family turned to Transparent Hands and asked us to register his case. The generosity and compassion of donors made it possible to arrange the life-saving procedure.

On November 4, 2024, Usman was admitted to the Ittefaq Hospital in Lahore. The surgery was scheduled for November 7, 2024. Dr. Asim Khan performed the complex surgery, which was a remarkable success. After receiving post-operative care and critical monitoring, Usman was discharged in stable condition on November 11, 2024.

Overwhelmed with gratitude, Usman’s parents shared their heartfelt thanks as follows:

“Our son’s life was in danger but your support came as a miracle. You saved Usman’s life. We will forever be thankful for this incredible kindness and support.”

Today, Usman is regaining his strength. He has a bright future ahead, free from the limitations of his heart condition. This remarkable change was made possible through your generous support. His family extends their deepest gratitude to you and the Pakistan Children’s Heart Foundation for contributing to his surgery. You changed his life and brought hope to a family in need.
