Your gift to Sponsor Farhan's Care provides direct access to medical treatment, follow‑up, and essential support he cannot afford alone. Farhan is a 16-year-old boy who lives in a small mountain village several hours outside of Skardu with his four sisters and younger brother. His father is a farm hand and works seasonally and his mother teaches the Quran. Their monthly household income is less than $200.  Farhan suffered a stroke when he was eight years old and then again when he was 15 because of a severe nutritional deficiency that raised his Homocysteine levels. He suffers from a severe speech impediment, has lost the ability to use his dominant hand, struggles with his gait and has prominent memory loss. He requires ongoing speech, physical and occupational therapy along with support in receiving his medications and medical devices. Although, he attended grade nine before his second stroke, he will now require special education and eventually job training to be able to live his fullest independent life. He is an avid cricket and soccer fan, and enjoyed playing sports before his illness.
