Your Support Enabled Habiba Komal to See Clearly

Habiba Komal Khalid's Story

Habiba Komal, a 15-year-old girl from Multan, was suffering due to developmental cataract. The problem had been causing blurry vision and disorientation. Habiba experienced difficulties carrying out her routine activities. To make matters worse, she also had a thyroid problem. As she grew older, she felt more confined to her house. It became increasingly hard for her to enjoy a normal life and she often wondered how life would be with a clearer vision. Habiba has two brothers, and both of them suffer from similar medical conditions.

Habiba’s father, Hafiz Khalid Mehmood, is the sole breadwinner in the family and works as an Imam at a local mosque. He earns only PKR 20,000 per month. The family does not own a house. They live in a rented house and pay PKR 6,000 per month in rent. Additionally, they spend PKR 5,000 on utility bills. They could afford to spend on medical expenses.

After the initial consultation with doctors, Habiba was advised to undergo Phaco + IOL surgery. Since her family lacked the financial means to support her surgery, they were worried about Habiba’s future. However, her family became hopeful after someone told them about Transparent Hands. They reached out to us and we registered her case. 

After the completion of the due processes, Transparent Hands arranged a surgery for Habiba. The procedure was successfully performed at the Bakhtawar Amin Medical & Dental College by Dr. Sadaqat Ali on 16-09-2024. She was discharged after a successful operation.

Habiba can now see clearly. With a clearer vision, she has started to enjoy her life better. Habiba’s family is also extremely grateful for the support. They appreciate the efforts of Transparent Hands and said, “We will always remember how the generosity of kind donors changed our daughter’s life. Today, she can see clearly because of you. We can’t thank you enough.”

Habiba looks forward to living her life to the fullest now.
