Abdul Hadi, a 12-year-old boy from Gujranwala, has been battling with shortness of breath and recurrent bouts of chest infections since birth. He couldn’t enjoy the cherished moments of his childhood due to his heart complications. Activities like walking around his house or playing with his friends made him breathless and feel fatigued. Worried about his condition, his parents took him to a local hospital and consulted a doctor. After a thorough examination, the doctor diagnosed Abdul Hadi with Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD), Right Coronary Cusp Prolapse (RCCP), Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction (LVOTO), and Mild Aortic Regurgitation (AR). To treat this issue, the doctor advised VSD Closure Surgery. However, the cost of the surgery was out of his family’s reach. Abdul Hadi lives in a modest home with his parents. His father, the sole breadwinner in the family, repairs washing machines and earns just PKR 30,000 per month. This income was insignificant to cover their utility bills and food expenses. After covering their essentials, they were left with nothing to set aside for a costly heart surgery. During this challenging time, Abdul Hadi’s parents reached out to Transparent Hands and asked for help. After assessing his condition, we promptly registered his case. On June 20, 2025, Abdul Hadi was admitted to the University of Lahore Teaching Hospital. The next day, Dr. Fiaz Rasool expertly performed his VSD closure surgery. The surgery was a remarkable success, and Abdul Hadi’s life was saved. On June 24, 2025, Abdul Hadi was discharged in stable condition from the hospital. Abdul Hadi’s parents described their happiness as follows: “This surgery has changed Abdul Hadi’s life in ways we never thought possible. We were losing hope, but your support came at the perfect time. Our son is saved now, and all this happened just because of your generosity. Thanks for being there for us.” Abdul Hadi is recovering now. He will soon be able to spend a healthy and fulfilling life like other children. His family is grateful to you and the Pakistan Children’s Heart Foundation for helping them during their challenging time.
