Your Support Restored Anaya Zahra’s Eyesight

Anaya Zahra's Story

Anaya Zahra, a five-year-old girl from Multan, was diagnosed with cataracts in both her eyes. She had struggled with eye-related problems since her birth. Anaya’s consultant recommended surgery for both eyes.

Due to eyesight issues, Anaya was facing many challenges in their studies and other aspects of life. Her father, Zeeshan Saleem, a rider at Leopards Courier, contacted Transparent Hands for assistance because he couldn’t afford the surgeries due to financial constraints. Zeeshan only earns PKR 20,000 per month, which is insufficient to meet the needs of four growing children. Anaya has two more sisters and a brother. They live in a 5-marla house, and their father works hard to make ends meet. He is the sole breadwinner for the family. As Anaya’s condition deteriorated, the family felt increasingly worried.

Transparent Hands registered Anaya’s case. Her first surgery for the left eye was successfully conducted in May 2024. She felt much relieved after her first surgery. She could see better afterward. However, to restore full vision, she also had to undergo surgery on her right eye. For the second surgery, Anaya was admitted to Bakhtawar Amin Medical & Dental College on 21-08-24, where she had another successful surgery. Her doctor, Dr. Asif Manzoor, is happy with her recovery. Her family is so glad to see her more active and vibrant. Her vision has been completely restored, and she is now as active as her siblings.

Zeeshan said with his heart filled with gratitude, “I would like to thank Transparent Hands and all the donors twice because they arranged both of Anaya’s surgeries. Her surgeries went very well. She can see clearly with both eyes now. Everyone in our home is happy.”

Anaya can see everything clearly now and is ready to explore the world like other children.
