“When we admitted her to the hospital, a team of doctors said she had sustained grave injuries and had minimal chances. An NGO named MFJCF Navjeevan Samooh and the doctors convinced us of donating her organs. After she was declared brain dead, I had a word with my wife and we both decided to go for it,” said Anil Kumar Gupta, the girl’s father, owner of a medical shop in Bharatpur.
While talking about the girl’s organs saving other lives, Anil said, ” We have lost our daughter, if some one else’s life is saved it will be good.”
