cities across
prisoners receive a healing touch
Deyaan Udani, a 7 year old resident of Sydney, Australia and a SRLC volunteer, became the youngest organ donor in India when his heart, kidneys and liver were harvested after the doctors at a Mumbai hospital declared him brain dead. Deyaan was touring India with his family when he suffered from a brain clot and died at the Mumbai hospital. Respecting his request, the family decided to donate his organs to give a new lease on life to four critically-ill patients – out of which three were children. Deyaan's heart went to a two-and-half-year-old girl suffering from dilated cardiomyopathy. Through his untimely death, Deyaan lit the lamp of hope for several lives in future and became the torchbearer of Shrimad Rajchandra Organ Donation Programme. His legacy continues even today as thousands of people become aware of the need for organ donation and sign up to pledge their organs after death.
