Eshal D/O Bilal's Story

Eshal was born deaf and has never been able to hear. The tragedy is that she cannot respond to her name or recognise her parents’ voices, despite her beautiful name. However, her parents are unable to pay for the cochlear implant surgery she needs to regain her hearing. We request that you donate for Eshal’s cochlear implant surgery and help us introduce her to the world of sounds. It is only possible with your financial gift.

Three-year-old Eshal, a resident of Swabi, has been suffering from hearing impairment since birth. When she was a year old, her parents noticed that she did not respond to their voices. Her parents took her to the local hospital, where her tests were done. Upon consultation, she was diagnosed with sensorineural hearing loss. The doctor advised her to undergo cochlear implant surgery. A cochlear implant is a small electronic device that sends electrical signals to stimulate the cochlear nerve (the nerve for hearing). The implant has internal and external components. The external part picks up sounds with a microphone. Then, it processes the sound and transmits it to the internal part of the implant.

She lives with her parents and one sibling. Her father is a daily wager and earns PKR 20,000 per month. He is struggling to make ends meet. It is not possible for him to pay for the surgery with his limited income. He said it in a depressed tone:

“When the doctor told us our daughter had hearing loss, everything changed. I worry about how her life will be without surgery. Please donate today to help us.”

Upon learning about Transparent Hands from a family friend, Eshal’s parents wasted no time in reaching out and registering her case. The desire to witness the day when Eshal can hear her parents’ voices resonates deeply within their hearts. Yet, to turn this cherished dream into reality, we rely on the compassionate contributions of individuals like you.
