[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text dp_text_size=”size-4″]Assalamualaikum! I’m Dr. Amna Mukhtar, 83rd badge graduate from King Edward Medical College. I am 70 years old and have served as a gynaecologist at PolyClinic for several years. My husband worked as a manager at Holiday Inn. Our life was smooth, peaceful, and happy. Unfortunately, after four years of marriage, my husband passed away in a road accident. At that time, I had only one son who was suffering from a disease that couldn’t be treated in Pakistan. So, I took him to America for treatment while continuing my practice as a gynaecologist. I also dedicated myself to my son’s studies and helped him become a doctor.
Once my son became a doctor, we both decided to return to Pakistan and contribute to the betterment of the people. We worked in different NGOs, aiming to help those in need. Tragically, my son had a fatal accident one day, leaving me alone and without anyone to rely on. I sought refuge with my brothers, and despite the loss, I continued my charitable work. I am unable to discuss my family, but I believe that Allah knows everything and may He conceal everyone’s deeds. When I was 67 years old, I fell and fractured my hip bone while getting into my car. This incident rendered me bedridden, and since then, I have been residing in an old home for the past three years.
Living conditions in the old home are challenging, but I am grateful for the support they provide. Although the money and donations made in our names do not reach us, I refrain from mentioning the dire conditions here because the old home has taken on the responsibility of caring for me. Despite my circumstances, I am still able to change my diapers while sitting and even prepare allopathic medicines for patients who come here seeking help.

Nevertheless, I pray that Allah spares anyone from being dependent on others. During my time at the old home, my son Talha and my beautiful daughter Fatima visit me when they can, and they genuinely care for me. However, they are young and busy with their studies and colleges. Through them, I met Anila Naseeb and Major Naseeb, who have become my family. They took me to CMH, where I received a check-up from skilled doctors, giving me hope that I will regain the ability to walk. I am determined to fulfil my dreams and help others in a humble way. Anila and Major Naseeb have assured me that my operation will begin soon, and they plan to relocate me from the old home since it has been three months without a shower, subjecting me to unbearable and unsanitary conditions.
Now, I place my hope in Allah, believing that He will heal me and grant me the ability to walk again. I kindly request everyone to assist me in funding my operation, which is estimated to cost 8 lakhs. I humbly ask for your support in fulfilling my dream of standing on my own feet once more.
May Allah bless you and grant you the strength to overcome these challenges[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
