Family of three mentally disabled children needs help

Rawalpindi
50-year-old, Rukhsana Bibi, mother of three adult but mentally disabled children -- two girls and one son -- is facing very hard time and needs assistance from philanthropists as well as government to meet both ends.
Rukhsana Bibi, who herself is a cardiac patient, but also suffering from eyesight problems is living in a small house with her disabled children and husband who is a retired person and getting only Rs5,000 pension.
Sumaira Yasmin, aged 25, Qamar Abbas 20 and Bakhtawar Yasmin, 16, are mentally disabled since their birth. They can’t even perform their day-to-day affairs of life due to mental disorders and physical weaknesses, which a normal kid of two years can do. That’s why these children have to wear adult diapers.
Rukhsana Bibi while talking to ‘The News’ said that five years back, she herself went through a major surgery in a hospital for placing pacemaker in the chest due to cardiac issues, besides being a patient of Hepatitis-C.
Rukhsana Bibi told that some God fearing people are helping her and giving Rs 5000 per month but because of high inflation rate it has become very difficult for them to bear the expenses of their disable children.
She appealed to the prime minister of Pakistan, Punjab chief minister and other philanthropists to give financial assistance to her in raising her mentally disabled children.
The old and helpless couple resides in house no CB-1433, street no 60 near Saqib Hospital, Allama Iqbal Colony (People’s Colony), Tench Bhata, Rawalpindi and are waiting for support of philanthropists. Anyone who wants to help the family can contact them on this number 0323-5341966 or submit the amount in their bank account (14562-3) of National Bank of Pakistan, Tench Bhatta Branch, Rawalpindi.
