Zayan Awaits Open-Heart Surgery

Muhammad Zayan's Story

Muhammad Zayan, a 1-year-old baby boy from Lahore, has been battling for every breath since the day he was born. His parents first noticed his difficulty in breathing and bluish discoloration of his skin shortly after birth. Moreover, Zayan becomes easily fatigued, even with minimal activity. Recently, his parents took him to a cardiac center for a check-up. He underwent detailed diagnostic testing. The results revealed that Zayan is suffering from Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), a serious congenital heart defect involving four heart abnormalities. The doctor has advised open-heart surgery for total correction, but his family can’t afford the surgery.

Without this surgery, his condition will continue to deteriorate, putting his life at risk. The doctor warned that delaying the procedure may lead to heart failure.

Zayan’s family lives in a small rented house in Lahore with six members. His father works as a daily wager, and his mother earns a modest income as a housemaid. Together, they barely manage to earn PKR 30,000 per month. Out of this limited income, PKR 10,000 goes towards house rent, PKR 1500 for utility bills, and PKR 4000 for the children’s educational expenses. On top of this, the family is burdened with a loan of PKR 150,000. Their financial situation leaves no room for the high cost of Zayan’s heart surgery. During this time of need, they have turned to Transparent Hands and asked for help.

With tearful eyes, Zayan’s parents shared:

“It breaks our hearts whenever we see our son struggle to breathe. We want nothing more than to see him smile, run, and play like other children. We’re doing everything we can, but we need your help to save our son’s life.”

Zayan’s life is hanging in the balance, but your support can give him a second chance.
