Inspiring Patient Stories
One of the most emotional moments of the evening came from Ijaz, husband of Faiza, a thalassemia major. He shared their journey of managing regular blood transfusions, searching for donors, and facing the challenges that come with the condition.
Despite these obstacles, their story is one of strength, love, and resilience. Happily married and blessed with a daughter, their experience highlights an important message: thalassemia patients can live fulfilling lives when provided proper medical care, emotional support, and social acceptance.
Another unforgettable moment came when 10-year-old Hoorain took the stage simply to say “thank you.”
Before joining FAiTh, she was not receiving proper medical guidance. With FAiTh’s support and collaboration with Kutiyana Memon Hospital, she received the right treatment and successfully underwent spleen removal surgery.
On stage, Hoorain expressed her gratitude to FAiTh, Muhammad Hammad, and Ayesha Mehmood for helping her and her family. Her innocent words touched every heart in the room and reminded everyone why this mission matters.
