Help My Dad Recover From a Stroke
Hi, my name is Austin D'Lima, and I’m fundraising for my dad, who is currently in critical condition at the National Medical Centre in Karachi, Pakistan. He suffered a stroke, which has left the left side of his body paralyzed, and doctors have found a blood clot in his brain.
I lost my mum a few years ago, and since then, my sister and I have been studying and working hard to make ends meet. Our father has been unemployed for some time due to his health, and this recent stroke has made things much worse.
Unfortunately, he does not have health insurance, and the medical expenses — ICU care, hospital bills, MRI scans, and ongoing treatment — are far beyond what we can afford. We’ve already used all our savings to admit him and begin emergency care, but we’ve reached a point where we can’t continue without help.
We’re turning to our community for support. Every contribution, no matter the amount, will go directly toward my dad’s treatment and recovery. Your generosity can help him receive the care he needs and bring him home to us.
If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this campaign with others who might be able to help.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read our story. Your kindness, prayers, and support mean more than words can express.
With gratitude,
Austin & Annette D'Lima

My dad, Darren D’lima, is gaining strength every day. He has started to make movements in his feet and hand, which is a big step forward in his recovery.
This is just the beginning of his improvement, and we’re hopeful that with continued therapy and care, he’ll recover fully in time.
Thank you all for your ongoing prayers, donations, and support, it means the world to us and is truly helping him heal. 🙏❤️

My dad, Darren D’lima, was admitted on October 9th after a stroke that left his left side paralyzed. He’s now being discharged from the hospital, and we’re so grateful for everyone’s support and prayers.
His recovery will continue at home with daily physiotherapy, medications, and full-time caregiving. We still need help to cover these ongoing costs.
