Life is short; we all have dreams and desires while some are fulfilled and some are not because of many reasons.
However, there are so many in this world that are physically disabled and faced by unimaginable hurdles hampering them from enjoying the joy of life, the bounties that the world offers and countless dreams which they know can’t be fulfilled.
For some there is a way out of the pain and disability through medications, surgical procedures and equipment however due to financial constraints a way out becomes next to impossible.
The gentleman in the picture has very active Rheumatoid Arthritis for last 15 years; he was unable to walk due to the disease and the expensive medication was something he could not afford. ACF sponsored his medical treatments which were worth Rs. 250,000 per annum. He has now recovering at a rapid rate and is currently working to support his family.
Arthritis Care Foundation (ACF) is working in collaboration with Fatima Memorial Hospital Lahore and serving many patients who cannot afford the treatment expenses.
If ACF had not provided this treatment, he would have not been able to walk; this has only been possible through the support of generous donors. Fatima Memorial Hospital hopes to continue its noble mission, please donate generously.
These stories give us hope and the strength to continue with our mission.
Please donate today and change lives.
