Aam Olas Ep 289: A Family Trapped in Helplessness in Kohat
In Aam Olas Ep 289, I visited Kohat, Samara, in the region of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, to witness a reality that is difficult to describe — and even harder to forget.
This episode exposes one of the most helpless forms of life, where survival depends entirely on the mercy of others.
Anyone who watches this episode or reads this account will inevitably pause and thank Almighty Allah for the health, comfort, and stability they are blessed with.
The purpose of this episode is not sympathy — it is support.
Aam Olas Ep 289
Meeting Shah Nawaz and His Family
During this visit, I met Shah Nawaz, a 39-year-old man living with multiple physical challenges.
He suffers from:
- Short stature
- An eye defect
Because of these conditions, he has been consistently denied employment, despite his willingness to work.
Shah Nawaz is not alone in hardship.
A Household Surrounded by Illness
The family consists of six individuals:
- An elderly father, suffering from a heart condition
- A mother, affected by Hepatitis C and hearing loss
- Three sisters, each facing serious difficulties
The elder sister is unmarried and has taken on the responsibility of caring for the entire household.
The remaining two sisters are also unwell:
- One suffers from short stature and a mental disorder
- The other has severe vision problems and serious mental illness
This family is not just struggling financially — they are struggling physically, mentally, and emotionally.
No Support from the System
When asked about government assistance, Shah Nawaz shared his experience honestly.
He said he:
- Applied for the Prime Minister Imran Khan Ehsaas Relief Program
- Was informed that he was not eligible
- Approached MNA Shahryar Afridi regarding his situation
Despite repeated efforts, no help materialized.
For a family already pushed to the edge, this rejection deepened their despair.
A Sister’s Painful Decision to Ask for Help
One of the most emotional moments of this episode came when Shah Nawaz’s sister spoke.
She said she never wanted to ask for help publicly.
But the atmosphere of their home had collapsed completely.
With no income, worsening health, and no support, she felt she had no choice left but to call Aam Olas — to place their reality before humanity in the hope of relief.
This was not a request for luxury.
It was a plea for basic comfort and dignity.

Aam Olas: Showing What Often Remains Hidden
This episode reminds us that suffering does not always appear in headlines.
Some families fade silently into hardship, unseen and unheard.
Aam Olas exists to reveal these realities — not to judge, but to awaken compassion.
May Allah ease the difficulties of this family.
May He guide us to help where we can.
And may we never forget how fragile comfort truly is.
