Rafaqat Bibi's Story

Meet Rafaqat Bibi, a 55-year-old woman from Lahore, who has been experiencing upper abdominal pain for six months. She also faces repeated bouts of nausea, vomiting, and indigestion after taking fatty meals. Rafaqat was once a pillar of strength for her family, but now she faces struggles while carrying out even minor tasks. She was receiving symptomatic treatment but the relief was temporary. After suffering for a while, she decided to consult a specialist, who performed an ultrasound scan and some lab tests and diagnosed her with symptomatic gallstones – hard mineral deposits in the gallbladder. To relieve her pain, the doctor advised open cholecystectomy. Unfortunately, the cost of the surgery is overwhelming for her family.

Every day without surgery is a struggle for Rafaqat. If she doesn’t get the surgery, her health will continue to deteriorate due to poor dietary intake. She will always have a fear of pain and nausea after eating, and the condition may lead to infections, hospitalizations, and irreversible complications.

Rafaqat is a housemaid and earns approximately PKR 25,000 per month. She lives in a modest rented house along with her children. She has five children – three of them are married and her two sons work as daily wage laborers. Her family’s financial situation is stretched thin and they hardly manage to pay for the house rent, utility bills as well as groceries. Affording to pay for her surgery is significantly challenging for the family. During this time of need, Rafaqat contacted Transparent Hands and asked us for assistance. Rafaqat said with teary eyes:

“My life is a constant struggle. I dream of a life where pain no longer holds me back. Your help could make this dream a reality. I need your support to regain my health and find a way forward. Please help me.”

Rafaqat Bibi's Story

Rafaqat Bibi, a 55-year-old woman from Lahore, had been experiencing persistent abdominal pain, nausea, and digestive issues for six months. Daily tasks had become nearly impossible, and her condition was deeply affecting her emotional well-being. After suffering for a while, she decided to consult a specialist, who ran lab tests and an ultrasound scan and diagnosed Rafaqat with symptomatic gallstones. The doctor strongly recommended an open cholecystectomy to relieve her symptoms and prevent complications. However, the surgical cost was overwhelming for Rafaqat’s family.

Rafaqat’s family faced severe financial difficulties. She lived in a small rented house along with her five children. Rafaqat worked as a housemaid and made approximately PKR 25000 per month. Her sons worked as daily wage laborers, but the family’s monthly income was insignificant to manage the household expenses. Rafaqat’s surgical expenses were way more than their monthly income and they simply couldn’t afford to pay for her surgery. Unable to see her suffering, her family reached out to Transparent Hands and asked us to register her case. The generosity of our donors enabled us to arrange surgery for Rafaqat at a reputable hospital on our panel.

On 12th November 2024, Rafaqat was admitted to the Lahore Care Hospital. Her surgery was successfully performed by Dr. Ahmed Fawad. After a thorough post-operative recovery process, including essential medications and care, she was discharged in stable condition on 14th November 2024.

Rafaqat was overwhelmed with relief and gratitude. Sharing her thoughts, she said:

“For months, I lived with unbearable pain. I thought I would never be able to feel normal again. But you gave me a new chance at life. I can now move without pain, and I feel like a new person. Thank you for giving me hope and health.”

Rafaqat’s surgery has changed her quality of life. She is now able to perform her daily tasks without discomfort, and her family no longer worries about her health. Your kindness has brought back her health and happiness. She extends her deepest gratitude to you for supporting her surgery.
