Chahat Fatima Needs an Artificial Leg

Chahat Fatima's Story

Meet Chahat Fatima, a 26-year-old woman from Lahore, is facing a challenging moment in her life. Born with poly foot and osteomyelitis, her life has been a constant struggle against her condition. Her leg got infected and a below-knee amputation of her left leg was performed on 22nd July 2024. Since the loss of her left leg, her life has been filled with challenges and hardships. Performing daily chores such as getting in and out of bed, and walking around the house has become significantly challenging for her. She consulted a doctor about her condition, who recommended a below-knee prosthesis to restore her ability to walk. However, Chahat’s family can’t afford the cost of her much-needed artificial leg.

Chahat is unable to walk, perform household tasks, or engage in the activities she once loved. A below-knee prosthesis is her key to reclaiming her life. Without a prosthetic limb, Chahat will face limited mobility, making it difficult to perform everyday tasks or pursue her ambitions.

Chahat Fatima lives in a two-room brick house with her siblings and parents. She has three siblings, one of them is studying and the other two are married. Her father, the sole breadwinner in the family, works in a shop and brings in PKR 50,000 per month. With this insufficient monthly income, they hardly manage to pay for utility bills, educational expenses, groceries, and other living expenses.They have no savings at all to pay for her artificial leg. During this time of need, Chahat reached out to Transparent Hands and asked us for help.

Chahat expressed her plea as follows:

“After losing my leg, I struggle every day to walk. An artificial leg would change my life, and allow me to stand on my own two feet, but it’s cost is beyond our means. I need your help to walk again.”

Without a prosthetic limb, Chahat’s independence and future opportunities would be drastically limited. However, your support can make a real difference in her life, helping her access the prosthetic limb she desperately needs. Every contribution brings her one step closer to her dream of walking again.
