Muhammad Hanif's Story

Meet Muhammad Hanif, a 75-year-old man from Lahore, who has been suffering from a lump in his left inguinal region for three months. Over time, his lump increased in size and became painful, leaving him unable to provide for his family. Concerned about his condition, he consulted a doctor. After running some diagnostic tests and an ultrasound scan, the doctor diagnosed him with a left inguinal hernia. It occurs when a part of the intestine bulges through a weak area in the abdominal wall, leading to a noticeable swelling in the groin. To relieve his pain, the doctor advised left inguinal hernia repair surgery. Unfortunately, the surgical cost is overwhelming for Hanif.

Due to the persistent pain and discomfort, Hanif’s ability to perform routine tasks as well as physical tasks such as lifting or prolonged standing has become significantly challenging. If his condition is left untreated, his hernia can become strangulated, which would necessitate emergency surgery.

Living in a modest one-room brick house with his wife and one child, Hanif hardly makes ends meet. Due to his illness, Hanif is unemployed. His wife works as a housemaid and earns just PKR 12000 per month. The family’s financial situation is stretched thin and they hardly cover the cost of groceries, and utility bills of PKR 3000 alongside the educational expenses of PKR 1000. Due to their financial hardships, they are unable to pay for the surgery. After struggling for a while, Hanif found Transparent Hands and asked us for help. Moved by his plea, we registered his case.

Hanif said with tears in his eyes:

“I desperately need this surgery. My day-to-day life is a struggle with pain. I just want to regain a healthy life and spend my remaining years with peace and joy. I don’t have enough money to pay for the treatment, but with your help, I can find relief.”
