It was all extremely coincidental and
unfortunate. Our kid met with an accident.
She died after suffering major injuries.
She was just 10 months old. It was after a
lot of discussions between my son and
daughter-in-law that we decided to donate
the internal organs. We decided to donate
organs so that it would save the lives of a
few people. In this case, it saved the lives
of 4 people and one person regained their
vision. We believe this as a Godly act.
-Reji Samuel, Grandfather of Aalin Sherin Abraham, 10
months old organ donor, Kerala

My heart was functioning at only 15%,
but now I'm perfectly healthy. After the
transplant, I've travelled to Neelkanth,
Kedarnath, Prayagraj, Vaishno Devi & Khatu
Shyam. I've been driving a cab for the past
2 years. I have three daughters whom I
want to spend their lives in the service of
the country, patients and the poor. A lot
of people have to lose their lives due to
unavailability of organs. I want to express
my heartfelt thanks to the girl who donated
her heart to me. People should donate their
organs. If my body can give life to someone,
I will also donate.
- Laxmi Devi, Heart transplant survivor, Delhi
