Success Stories of Organ Transplant Recipients

Organ donation is an opportunity to give life to others. Life had become impossible for these people but everything changed when a dying person decided to donate his/her organs.

	Ms. Meenu Aggarwal I believe that god is always there. Expect His help and He will not fail you! If we had no faith in the ultimate God, we would lose all hope. By organ donation we can help save lives of those who have lost all hope of living. The donor and his family's greatness and large heartedness have helped revive our faith in god and mankind. It has encouraged me and my family to donate our organs to help save lives. You may not be able to change the whole world, but even if you can change your part of the world, life is worth living. Blessed are those who can give without remembering and take without forgetting ......... Our lives live on forever in the lives that we touch and the best and the most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen nor touched but are felt in the heart.
