Meet Minahil Luqman: A Brave 11-Year-Old Girl
Minahil Luqman, an 11-year-old from Bahawalpur, has been battling heart problems since birth. Her journey is filled with courage, but now she needs your help to overcome her health challenges.
Minahil’s Medical Journey:
- Early Health Challenges: Minahil was diagnosed with Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA) and Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) – conditions that affect normal blood flow in the heart.
- Previous Surgery: In 2013, Minahil underwent an arterial switch and VSD closure surgery, which temporarily helped improve her condition.
- New Diagnosis: Recently, Minahil started experiencing breathlessness, chest pain, and fatigue again. After a follow-up, she was diagnosed with severe subvalvular pulmonary valve stenosis.
- What is Subvalvular Pulmonary Valve Stenosis?: It’s a condition where the valve that controls blood flow from the heart to the lungs is severely narrowed, increasing pressure on the heart and causing breathlessness.
The Urgent Need for Surgery:
- Recommended Treatment: Doctors have recommended a redo-open heart surgery called Pulmonary Artery Plasty (PA Plasty) to relieve the obstruction and improve her heart function.
- Risks Without Surgery: Without this surgery, Minahil faces severe complications, including heart failure and dangerous arrhythmias.
Family’s Financial Struggle:
- Limited Income: Minahil’s father is a daily wage laborer, earning just PKR 15,000 a month. With a family of four, including one sibling, he struggles to cover basic living expenses.
- Educational expenses: PKR 2,000
- Utility bills: PKR 2,000
- Cost of Surgery: The cost of Minahil’s life-saving surgery is beyond what the family can afford.
Minahil’s Parents’ Heartfelt Appeal:
“We are terrified of losing our daughter. She dreams of playing like other children, but her heart just can’t keep up. We feel helpless and need your support to save her life.”
