Inas Bibi, a 6-year-old girl from Rajanpur, had spent her young life battling with breathlessness and chest discomfort. Unlike other children of her age who walked and ran freely, Inas struggled to keep up. Even mild to moderate physical activity left her gasping for air. Her skin and lips often turned blue. Each time this happened, it filled her mother’s heart with fear. Alarmed by her worsening condition, Inas’s mother took her to a local hospital for a check-up. After conducting a series of diagnostic tests, the doctor diagnosed Inas with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), a complex combination of four heart defects that severely restrict normal blood flow. The doctor advised open-heart surgery for total correction. Unfortunately, the cost of such a major surgery was far beyond what her family could manage. Life had already been incredibly tough for Inas’s family. Her father abandoned them, leaving her mother to care for Inas and her two siblings alone. They now live in someone else’s home and rely entirely on the generosity of others for their food, shelter, and daily needs. With no steady income or savings, affording Inas’s heart surgery was impossible. In this desperate time, Inas’s mother turned to Transparent Hands for help. Moved by her plea, we quickly registered Inas’s case. With the generous support of our donors and Pakistan Children’s Heart Foundation (PCHF), Inas was admitted to Ittefaq Hospital, Lahore, on May 14, 2025. Dr. Asim Khan performed her life-saving open-heart surgery for TOF repair on May 17, 2025. After receiving careful post-operative care, she was discharged in stable condition on May 21, 2025. Inas’s mother shared: “Your help has lifted a huge burden from my heart. Watching my daughter breathe easily and smile again is a joy I can’t describe. I am forever grateful to the kind souls who made this surgery possible.” Today, Inas is recovering well. Your generosity has not only healed her tiny heart but also brought hope and happiness back into her family’s world. Her family is thankful to you for making this possible.
