Maryam Bibi's Story

Maryam, a 28-year-old from Karachi, is preparing for the birth of her third child. With two previous  C-sections, and she is acutely aware of the importance of a safe delivery. Yet, financial hurdles cast a shadow over her anticipation. Maryam’s family lives in a modest two-room house on a small plot in Karachi. As a housewife, she depends entirely on her husband’s income, a daily wage of PKR 20,000, which barely covers their daily needs, utility bills of PKR 2,000, school fees of another PKR 2,000, and payments towards a PKR 60,000 loan.

Recognizing the medical necessity due to her prior C-sections, Maryam consulted doctors who advised another cesarean to ensure a safe delivery. Overwhelmed by the cost, which her family cannot afford, Maryam reached out to Transparent Hands for financial assistance.

She appeals to the community with genuine urgency and a mother’s hope:

“I humbly request your support to help me safely welcome my child into the world. Your kindness can ease my journey into motherhood with peace and joy.”
