According to Saadia Raza, her sister, Ms. Raza played on hockey teams representing Quetta, the capital of her home province, and several government agencies. She has also represented her country many times, going abroad six times for field hockey and four times for football.
Ms. Raza eventually joined the Pakistani army’s field hockey team, a job that came with an army salary and allowed her to send her son to a military hospital for treatment, Ms. Khanum said. But a few years ago, she was fired from the army because she simultaneously refused to stop playing for other teams.
According to her sister, the loss of her army pay left her financially vulnerable and desperate to find new doctors for her son. He has a traumatic brain injury, his left side is paralyzed.
Around the middle of last year, Ms. Raza told Ms. Khanum, her former teammate, that she was planning a trip to Italy because she thought her son would be better cared for and there would be more economic opportunities for her.
