Cleft Lip & Palate Urgent
Usman is 7 years old and lives with his parents and siblings in Taxila. His father works as a daily-wage labourer and earns barely enough to feed the family.
When doctors at Shahida Khaliq Hospital examined Usman, they confirmed that he needs surgery: Cleft lip and palate repair (both sides). The family has already spent what little they had on tests and medicines, and cannot afford the operation.
“We have been told the operation will change Usman's life. We just want to see him smile and play like other children.”
– Usman's mother
The family has been assessed by the hospital and is eligible to receive Zakat. Your pledge of any amount brings Usman closer to surgery. As soon as his operation is fully funded, the hospital will book him in and share an update here.
