transplant 7-year back. He is now leading an absolutely normal life and has had
two kids after the transplant.
Similarly Kuldeep Singh (name changed) from Mohali didn’t think
for a minute while deciding to donate his kidney for his brother-in-law. For
Rama Devi from Mohali it was nothing less than a divine
happiness to donate her kidney to save her husband. The same was feeling for
Baljeet Kaur (name changed) and Narinder Kaur (name
changed ) both from Panchkula and Karamveer Kaur from Mansa while donating
their kidneys to save precious lives of their respective husbands.
Veena (name changed) from Mansa was very upset after her cousin developed kidney
ailment. During treatment it was found that her cousin would need kidney
transplant for survival. A pall of gloom was descended at the home as everybody
was clueless about what would now happen next. It was Veena who stepped up and
donated her kidney. Her cousin is fit now and leading normal life thanks to the
timely kidney transplant.
For Kiran (name changed) who hails from Kaithal, it was virtual an end of her world after
her beloved son was detected with a kidney problem. All her dreams came
crashing when she saw her young son battling for life. She was broken,
shattered and traumatized . Even in such hopeless situation, she came as an
only hope for his ailing son by donating her kidney to him. With this brave and
selflessness gesture, she has not only saved her family but enabled her son to
enjoy his normal life.
