Bilal is a lively and curious 10-year-old who adores his two younger sisters and loves going to school. His days were filled with laughter as he played with friends—until a tragic accident changed everything. While playing outdoors, a wooden chip flew into his left eye, causing intense pain and leaving him with blurred vision.
His father, a hardworking driver, rushed Bilal to a nearby clinic, where the doctor delivered troubling news: Bilal would need Micro Incision Vitrectomy Surgery (MIVS) to save his eyesight. For a family living in a cramped one-bedroom home, while sharing space with extended relatives, the cost of extensive surgery was overwhelming. They worried about the financial strain this would place on Bilal’s future, especially since he loved studying and was so eager to learn.
Desperate for a solution, Bilal’s family sought advice from a friend, who suggested they turn to LRBT, assuring them that their son’s treatment would be completely free of cost. Bilal’s father had previously heard about the expert care LRBT provided and knew it was the family’s only ray of hope.
At the Korangi hospital Bilal received a thorough examination, including advanced imaging to assess the damage to his eye. The dedicated medical team quickly scheduled him for surgery, understanding the urgency of his condition. Over the course of his treatment Bilal underwent three complex operations on his left eye, each one meticulously performed by skilled surgeons committed to restoring his sight.
The recovery process was challenging, but Bilal remained resilient. His family supported him with love and encouragement, and soon he noticed significant improvements in his vision. The day he was cleared to return to school was filled with joy; he could hardly wait to see his friends and teachers again.
Bilal now attends a nearby government school where he is equipped with all the materials and books he needs to thrive. With his joy renewed and his passion for learning reignited, he eagerly participates in class and engages with his friends. Inspired by the compassionate care he received during his treatment, Bilal dreams of becoming a doctor one day, determined to help others with as much care and attention.
In a heartfelt expression of gratitude, Bilal’s mother said, “Thank you, LRBT, for giving my son back his vision and his dreams. You have restored our hope and happiness. I pray for your continued success in helping children like Bilal, so they too can see a brighter future.”
