6 months old baby needs an operation on his hand

Hi, my name is Raza, I live in London. I am fund raising for a baby in my extended family who lives in Lahore, Pakistan. His family is extremely poor, barely able to make their ends meet. Despite that they have always worked hard to survive and have not asked for help.

Around six months ago this family has seen some happiness when this baby was born.

His name is Mehdi Raza. When he was 2 days old a bubble (lymphatic malformation) appeared on his hand. The doctors recommended them to see if it gets any worse and as the baby was young, they did not want to do any invasive procedures. Unfortunately, the hand started to get worse and swollen recently. The doctors have advised to perform a suction operation procedure in three stages.

The first operation is on the 11th of September 2024. I am listing the total cost they need for all three operations and medical aftercare. As you might know, there is no social medical care or insurance system in Pakistan, so people must pay for everything by themselves.

To arrange for this money, the family is trying to sell their appliances, taking loans, and selling any jewellery in their family.

If we can provide them with £1000 this will cover all expenses for this baby's operations. We will be able to give this baby a chance in life to have a healthy pain-free childhood with his hand working well. We hope that this will ease his hardship in already challenging circumstances. Thank you for your support.
